I don't think I'm saying that. If the debtor's action is a post-petition
action and the action is contemptuous, then the stay does not bar seeking a
contempt finding in State Court. You may not win the contempt OSC in the
State Court if there were no other resources available to pay the DSO, but
that is a different question.

So are you saying that they cannot seek contempt for pre-petition failure to
pay pursuant to a DSO absent relief from stay?

Post petition acts are not covered by stay.

Debtor files Chapter 7 and owes certain domestic support obligations
which are past due and nondischargeable.
Under 362(b) the support creditor cannot seek to recover from
property of the estate, but can seek to collect from property that
is not.
Would seeking a contempt sanction against the debtor in family law
court be a violation of the Stay?
