. (a) In any proceeding where the court has entered an order
pursuant to Section 4350, the court may also refer the matter of
enforcement of the spousal support order to the local child support
agency. The local child support agency may bring those enforcement
proceedings it determines to be appropriate.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), in any case in which the
local child support agency is required to appear on behalf of a
welfare recipient in a proceeding to enforce an order requiring
payment of child support, the local child support agency shall also
enforce any order requiring payment to the welfare recipient of
spousal support that is in arrears.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the
district attorney or the local child support agency from bringing an
action or initiating process to enforce or punish the failure to obey
an order for spousal support under any provision of law that
empowers the district attorney or the local child support agency to
bring an action or initiate a process, whether or not there has been
a referral by the court pursuant to this chapter.
(d) Any notice from the district attorney or the local child
support agency requesting a meeting with the support obligor for any
purpose authorized under this part shall contain a statement advising
the support obligor of his or her right to have an attorney present
at the meeting.
