In this appeal, we must decide whether the Legislature intended that nonattorney employees of the office of child support (OCS) prosecute URESA cases on behalf of state's attorneys. A magistrate and a reviewing trial court held that it did not. We agree and affirm.
We resolve this question by analyzing two statutory schemes: chapter 10 of Title 4, creating the family court, and chapter 7 of Title 15, facilitating reciprocal enforcement of child support (URESA).
