First, they have the legal authority to enter such judgments. Second, a court can issue a notice of a hearing to compel you to appear in court. If you don't it can issue a warrant for your arrest. Third, a judge can and will enter that judgment against you if you are not paying your child support on time.

When someone refuses to obey an order you can file a Motion for Contempt. You are basically telling the judge that this person is not obeying. A person found in contempt can be fined or even jailed. When a parent isn't paying the support, it's a common mistake is to stop permitting the parent to see the kids. Don't do that. Courts do not see child support and visitation as related things.
