(a) The court may order that support payments be made to the mother or other interested party, the child support receiver, the prosecuting attorney, the probation officer, or the clerk of court, provided that, in those cases where the action has been brought by the Department of Human Resources on behalf of a child, the support payment shall be made to the Department of Human Resources for distribution or to the child support receiver if the Department of Human Resources so requests.

(b) The same remedies and procedures shall apply for enforcement and modification of visitation and support orders as apply to enforcement and modification of such orders arising from divorce proceedings.
