Title 19, Chapter 11, Section 20
( 19-11-20)
(a) A parent responsible for child support payments may make an
assignment of a portion of his wages to the department in order to
fulfill his obligations under this article. The employer shall
recognize and comply with any wage assignment executed for the
purpose of meeting child support obligations and the wage assignment
shall be enforceable. (b) Employers may not terminate the services of an employed parent
who executes a wage assignment for child support purposes, solely
because of the assignment. (c) In addition to other remedies provided at law, courts may
require wage assignments, if accepted by the employer, as a
condition of probation or at such other times as appropriate to
ensure the regular availability of support to a dependent child. (d) The payor may collect up to $25.00 against the obligor's income
to reimburse the payor for administrative costs for the first income
deduction and up to $3.00 for each deduction thereafter. |
