Louisiana Income Assignment Order
Understanding this form
An income assignment order is a legal document specifically designed to facilitate the collection of child support payments that are not made voluntarily. This court order instructs an employer to automatically deduct child support payments from the earnings of an obligor parent and send those payments directly to the obligee parent. Unlike other child support arrangements, this order ensures consistent payment and protects the rights of the obligee parent through a legal mandate.
