Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

In any
proceeding where the court has ordered a parent, legal guardian, or custodian
to pay any amount for the care, support or maintenance of a child adjudged to
be within the purview of chapter 5, title 20, Idaho Code, and through the
adjudication has rendered a liability upon the parent, legal guardian or
custodian to pay damages or to pay for the child's support and care, the
following procedure may be utilized for collection. The court may order the
parent, legal guardian or custodian to assign a sum as the court may determine
to be equitable or as may otherwise be provided by statute or contract to the
county clerk, probation officer or other office of the court or county officer
designated by the court to receive such payment. The assignment shall be that
portion of salary or wages of the parent, legal guardian or custodian the
court deems would be due in the future to apply on the amount ordered by the
court for the care, support or maintenance of the delinquent child or for
breach of contract caused by the child's delinquency. The order shall be
binding upon an employer and until further order of the court. Any such order
may be modified or revoked at any time by the court. Any such assignment made
pursuant to court order shall have priority as against any attachment,
execution or other assignment, unless otherwise ordered by the court. All sums
collected pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be remitted as may
be provided by law.
