Provides that the court may order discovery of the assets and compel the application of any discovered assets toward payment on the judgment for support if the non-custodial parent and the entity maintain records together, fail to maintain an arms length relationship between themselves with regard to any assets, or the non-custodial parent transfers assets to the entity with the intent to perpetrate a fraud on the custodial parent. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure in provisions regarding enforcement of judgments to provide for enforcement against assets discovered under this procedure.
