Louisiana Income Assignment Order Immediate
About this form
The Income Assignment Order Immediate is a legal document commonly used to enforce child support payments that are not made voluntarily. This form is issued by the court and directs the employer of the parent who is responsible for making child support payments (the obligor) to deduct the specified amount directly from their income and transfer it to the other parent (the obligee). Unlike other forms of child support enforcement, this order allows for immediate collection from the obligor's wages, helping ensure timely payments for child support obligations.
