1. Proceedings to compel support by a nonsupporting parent may be brought in accordance with this chapter. They are not exclusive of other proceedings. The court may assess the usual filing fees, charges or court costs against the nonsupporting parent and shall enforce their collection with the other provisions of the judgment.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, when the district attorney is requested to bring an action to compel support or an action to determine paternity, the district attorney may charge the requester a fee of not more than $20 for an application. This fee may not be assessed against:
(a) The State of Nevada when acting as a party to an action brought pursuant to this chapter.
(b) Any person or agency requesting services pursuant to chapter 130 of NRS.
3. If the court finds that a parent and child relationship exists, it may assess against the nonsupporting parent, in addition to any support obligation ordered a reasonable collection fee. If the court finds that the nonsupporting parent would experience a financial hardship if required to pay the fee immediately, it may order that the fee be paid in installments, each of which is not more than 25 percent of the support obligation for each month.
4. All fees collected pursuant to this section must be deposited in the general fund of the county and an equivalent amount must be allocated to augment the county’s program for the enforcement of support obligations.
