(D) MODIFICATION.

THE COURT MAY MODIFY THE ORDER AS CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first through
third sentences and the first clause of the fifth
sentence of former Article 27, § 88(b)(3).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to
"written" consent is added to conform to practice.
See also § 10-215(b) of this subtitle as to the
requirement of a written consent in Baltimore City.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the word
"periodically" is substituted for the former word
"weekly" to conform to practice. This revision is
called to the attention of the General Assembly.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase
"through the appropriate support enforcement agency"
is substituted for the former language "to the Child
Support Enforcement Administration of the Department
of Human Resources or to the clerk of court or to such
other public agency as may be responsible for keeping
accounts", for brevity.

Also in subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former
reference to an assignment of benefits under Article
88A, § 48 of the Code, is deleted as unnecessary in
light of the broad scope of the subsection.

The fourth sentence of former Article 27, § 88(b)(3),
which required a support enforcement agency to forward
the payments to the appropriate recipient, is deleted
as unnecessary, since it merely restates a duty that a
support enforcement agency already has under Subtitle
1 of this title.

Defined terms: "Administration" § 10-101
"Support" § 1-101

10-205. RECOGNIZANCE.
