Text

In a prosecution for desertion or for nonsupport, before the trial and with the consent of the
defendant, or at the trial, on the entry of a plea of guilty, or after conviction, instead of imposing
the penalty, or in addition to the penalty, the court in its discretion, having regard to the
circumstances and to the financial ability or earning capacity of the defendant, may make an
order accepting the bond of the defendant to the state, in such amount and with such sureties
as the court shall prescribe and approve. If there has been a plea of guilty or a conviction,
judgment must be suspended until some condition of the bond is violated.
