A. A condition of the bond provided in § 13-3615, shall be that it shall not be necessary to bring a separate action to recover the penalty of such bond if forfeited, but that the court may order a citation to issue to the sureties thereon, requiring that they appear at a time named by the court, not less than ten nor more than twenty days from issuance thereof, and show cause why a judgment should not be entered for the penalty of the bond. Upon failure to appear or failure to show sufficient cause, the court shall enter judgment in behalf of the state against the principal and sureties.
B. Any monies collected or paid upon the bond shall be paid to the clerk of the court, and applied first to the payment of all court costs, and then to the care and maintenance of the child in such manner and upon such terms as the court may direct. If the money is unnecessary for such purposes, it shall be paid within one year to the county treasurer.
