1. If at any time after service, receipt or refusal of a notice pursuant to NRS 425.3824 and before the filing of an order for support of a dependent child, the Chief reasonably believes that the parent is about to transfer, encumber, convey, sell, remove, secrete, waste or otherwise dispose of property that could be made subject to an action for collection to satisfy the debt, the Chief may:
(a) Certify the matter to the district court; and
(b) Request a temporary restraining order which directs that the property not be disposed of pending entry of an order for support of a dependent child by the district court.
2. The Chief shall file an affidavit in the case record that:
(a) States the reasons the Chief believes the parent is about to dispose of the property; and
(b) Includes a legal description of the property.
3. If the parent furnishes a good and sufficient bond that is satisfactory to the court, the temporary restraining order must be vacated.
4. A certified copy of an order entered pursuant to this section may be recorded in the same manner as a notice of lis pendens pursuant to paragraph (h) of subsection 1 of NRS 247.120.
