§ 476. Forfeitures applied to support of petitioner. (a) All sums collected from the surety by judgment as well as forfeited cash deposits shall be applied by the clerk of court to the support of the petitioners for whose benefit the order for support was made. Subsequent defaults shall be proceeded upon in the same manner until the amount of the principal of the undertaking or the cash deposited has been recovered in full.
(b) Where the respondent, or any one in his behalf, shall have deposited with the court monies as surety for compliance with the terms of the order of support and the respondent shall have died, the court may make an order directing the payment to the petitioner of all monies still in possession of the court in conformance with the order of support.
