(1) In any action in which child support is
ordered, an interested party may apply to the court for an order requiring that the obligor post
security, a bond, or other form of guarantee to secure payment of the child support ordered. In
considering such request, the court shall consider, among other factors, the nature of the obligor's
employment and whether the obligor's income is unreachable by a wage assignment entered
pursuant to section 14-14-107 prior to July 1, 1996, or by immediate deduction for a family
support obligation pursuant to section 14-14-111 as it existed prior to July 1, 1996, or by an
income assignment entered pursuant to section 14-14-111.5 on or after July 1, 1996.
(2) If the request to post security, a bond, or other guarantee is made subsequent to the
issuance of a child support order, a copy of the request shall be sent to the obligor at his last-
known address by certified mail no later than twenty days prior to the date set for a hearing on
the issue. Such notice shall contain a statement of the obligor's rights to appear and contest the
request.
(3) When a request to post security, a bond, or other guarantee is before the court, the
court shall make findings on the appropriateness of the request based on the evidence presented
and shall then either grant or deny the request.
