§ 4613

Enacted by Stats. 1992, Ch. 162, Sec. 10. Operative January 1, 1994.

The court shall not issue an order pursuant to this article unless the court determines that one or more of the following conditions exist:

(a)The obligor-parent is not receiving salary or wages subject to an assignment pursuant to Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 5200) and there is reason to believe that the obligor-parent has earned income from some source of employment.
(b)An assignment of a portion of salary or wages pursuant to Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 5200) would not be sufficient to meet the amount of the support obligation, for reasons other than a change of circumstances which would qualify for a reduction in the amount of child support ordered.
(c)The job history of the obligor-parent shows that an assignment of a portion of salary or wages pursuant to Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 5200), would be difficult to enforce or would not be a practical means for securing the

payment of the support obligation, due to circumstances including, but not limited to, multiple concurrent or consecutive employers.
