§ 14-07-21 — Violation of conditions of bond - Who may sue on breach

Upon the filing of an affidavit showing the violation of the conditions of a bond given in lieu
of or in addition to the punishment for nonsupport or desertion, the accused shall be heard upon

an order to show cause. If the charges are sustained, the court may proceed with the trial of the
defendant on the original charge, or may pronounce sentence under the original conviction, or
may enforce the suspended sentence, as the case may be. The spouse or child, and any
person furnishing necessary food, shelter, clothing, or medical attention to either, may sue upon
the bond for a breach of any condition.
