The child support division in the Montague County Probation
Department shall provide assistance to the district clerk in
collecting child or spousal support payments. The division shall
also assist in the enforcement of orders relating to the possession

made semimonthly or weekly, the district clerk shall deduct 50
cents from each payment. The service fee authorized by this

becomes due and payable for each month after the hearing on the
contempt citation.
