Where an order has been made under section 20 requiring a young person to attend a rehabilitation school, it shall be the duty of the following persons to make contributions in respect of that person —
his parents;
his guardian;
any person who, at the date when an order is made, is cohabiting with that person's mother, whether or not that person is the father; and
any other person having parental responsibility for that person.
Contributions under subsection (1) shall be payable to the Clerk of the summary court to be applied by that person in or towards the maintenance, or otherwise for the benefit, of the young person.
Where any person is liable under subsection (1) to make contributions, any court may —
at the time the order under section 20 was made; or
at any later time during the period that the order remains in force, make a contribution order with respect to any such person requiring that person to contribute such sum in respect of each young person that person is responsible for as the court, in all the circumstances, thinks fit.
A contribution order —
shall remain in force throughout the period that the young person is required to attend the rehabilitation school; and
may, during that period, be varied or revoked on the application of —
the person liable to make the contributions;
an authorised officer of the rehabilitation school; or
the Department of Social Services.
A contribution order shall be enforceable by the Clerk of the Summary Court as if the contribution order was an order for the payment of periodical payments under the Children Act (2012 Revision) and paragraph 9 of Schedule 1 to that Act shall apply to the enforcement of contribution orders as it applies to the enforcement of orders under that Act.
