Action to enforce lien
N.D. Cent. Code § 35-34-10
in effect35-34-10. Action to enforce lien
In any case in which there has been a refusal or neglect to pay child support, the child
support agency, in addition to any other relief, may enforce a lien arising under this chapter by
demanding in writing the surrender of the property, issuing an execution under chapter 28-21, or
serving a deduction order under section 50-09-35. The child support agency also may file an
action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce a lien under this chapter. The filing of an
action does not preclude the child support agency from pursuit of any other means of
enforcement available under state or federal law. A person in possession of, or obligated with
respect to, property that is subject to a lien under this chapter is subject to the same duties and
liabilities as an income payer under section 14-09-09.3 unless the context indicates otherwise.
