Section 30

If any person fails to comply with any maintenance order, the court which made the order may for every breach of the order make an attachment of earnings order.

The court shall not, except with the consent of the defendant, make an attachment of earnings order to secure payments in accordance with a maintenance order if it appears to it that the defendant’s failure to comply with the maintenance order is not due to his wilful refusal or culpable neglect.

A Court of a Magistrate may make an attachment of earnings order to secure payments that the defendant is required to make under a maintenance order made by the High Court.
