Sec. 10.
The family counseling service may charge fees for its counseling in accordance with a fee schedule prescribed by the circuit court with the advice and consent of the county board of commissioners. The county board of commissioners may designate a committee of its members to act in its stead in approving the fee schedule. The schedule may be based on ability to pay and may be waived by the court, the presiding judge, or the judge to whom the case may be assigned, for good cause shown. Revenues from fees shall be paid into the county general fund, and used to defray costs of the family counseling service. In multiple-county circuits revenues shall be returned to counties in accordance with their proportionate contributions to the creation and maintenance of the service. The county board of commissioners or a designated committee of its members may make provision for payment to agencies outside the court for family counseling services rendered to spouses in indigent cases.
