KNOLL, Justice.[*]
At issue in this case is whether the trial court erred in granting defendant's peremptory exception of no cause of action on the grounds that the executory child support judgment against him could not be enforced through a rule for contempt. For the following reasons, we reverse the lower courts and find that a cause of action exists.
