Not wholey correct.
As a father, if you owe 1 darn dollar in unpaid support payments, your drivers license is automatically suspended. There are more criterion to it than that, court process etc, but no judge needs to rule - just a court clerk processing paperwork.
It's not the case. Never was, and likely never will be.
Your sources are incorrrect. I have first hand exposure to the process and it does not work that way.
By the time such events take place you have not shown up to hearings, or flatly defied rulings by JUDGES. Usually more than one.
Hope that was succinct enough.
