If the parent and child relationship has been established, the obligation of a parent may be enforced in the same or independent proceedings by the other parent, the child, the public authority that has furnished or may furnish the reasonable expenses of pregnancy, confinement, education, support or funeral, or by any other person, including a private agency, to the extent he or she has furnished or is furnishing these expenses.
2. The court may order support payments to be made to the custodial parent or a person or public agency designated to administer them for the benefit of the child under the supervision of the court.
3. Willful failure to obey the judgment or order of the court is a civil contempt of the court. All remedies for the enforcement of judgments apply.
