§ 4012 Child Support Security Orders

This law says a court can make a parent who pays child support give some kind of guarantee (like money or property) to make sure they don't miss payments.

Key Takeaways

•If a parent keeps missing child support payments, the court can make them promise with money or property.
•This only happens if there's a good reason (like the parent keeps not paying).
•The court decides what's a fair promise (like cash or something valuable).

Example

A dad has to pay $500 every month for his kid but keeps missing payments.

The mom can ask the court to make the dad put up money or something valuable (like a car) as a promise he'll pay on time. If he doesn't pay, the court can take that money or sell the car to cover the missed payments.
