Section 4508 Of Chapter 1. General Provisions From California Family Law Code >> Division 9. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 1.
4508
. (a) This section does not apply to any child support obligor
who is subject to an earnings assignment order pursuant to Chapter 8
(commencing with Section 5200).
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (a), every order or judgment
to pay child support may require a child support obligor to
designate an account for the purpose of paying the child support
obligation by electronic funds transfer, as defined in subdivision
(a) of Section 6479.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The order or
judgment may require the obligor to deposit funds in an
interest-bearing account with a state or federally chartered
commercial bank, a savings and loan association, or in shares of a
federally insured credit union doing business in this state, and
shall require the obligor to maintain funds in the account sufficient
to pay the monthly child support obligation. The court may order
that each payment be electronically transferred to either the obligee'
s account or the local child support agency account. The obligor
shall be required to notify the obligee if the depository institution
or the account number is changed. No interest shall accrue on any
amount subject to electronic funds transfer as long as funds are
maintained in the account that are sufficient to pay the monthly
child support obligation.
