Chapter 425 - Support of Dependent Children
NRS 425.410 - Payment of support through enforcing authority; collection and use of damages for dishonored check, draft or extension of credit.

1. Whenever, as a result of any assignment or action, money for the support of a dependent child is paid, such payment must be paid to the enforcing authority upon written notice by the enforcing authority to the responsible parent and the person who cares for and has custody and control of the dependent child for whom a support obligation exists that the child is receiving public assistance, or that the enforcing authority has undertaken to secure support for the child for whom a support obligation exists.
2. If a responsible parent makes, utters, draws or delivers to the enforcing authority a check, draft or extension of credit for the payment of support money that is drawn upon any financial institution or other person when the responsible parent has no account with the drawee of the check or draft or the issuer of the credit or has insufficient money, property or credit with the drawee or issuer to pay the amount of the check, draft or extension of credit, the enforcing authority shall mail to the responsible parent, by certified mail, a demand for cash payment in the amount of the check, draft or extension of credit. If the responsible parent does not pay the amount demanded by the enforcing authority within 30 days after the demand is mailed by the enforcing authority, the enforcing authority may initiate an action to collect damages from the responsible parent pursuant to NRS 41.620.
3. Any damages collected pursuant to subsection 2 that exceed the amount of the check, draft or extension of credit that was the subject of the action must be used to offset the costs of operating the Program.
