1. When any child with an intellectual disability or any child with a developmental disability is committed to a division facility by a court of competent jurisdiction, the court shall examine the parent, parents or guardian of the child regarding the ability of the parent, parents or guardian or the estate of the child to contribute to the care, support and maintenance of the child while residing in the facility.
2. If the court determines that the parent, parents or guardian of the child is able to contribute, it shall enter an order prescribing the amount to be contributed.
3. If the court determines that the estate of the child is able to contribute, it shall enter an order requiring that a guardian of the estate of the child be appointed, if there is none, and that the guardian of the estate contribute the amount prescribed by the court from the estate.
4. If the parent, parents or guardian fail or refuse to comply with the order of the court, the Division is entitled to recover from the parent, parents or guardian, by appropriate legal action, all sums due together with interest.
