720. If a judgment awarding support has been executed by the creditor by a seizure of income and there is no other claim in the record, the bailiff, on the debtor’s request, may, once the arrears are paid, stay the execution of the seizure provided the debtor undertakes to make the support payments, as they become due, directly to the bailiff and provides sufficient guarantees to secure compliance with that undertaking.

Such a stay may be granted for not less than six months nor more than one year; the bailiff advises the support creditor and the other creditors, as well as the garnishee, who then ceases to make deposits. During that period, the bailiff pays the sums received from the debtor to the support creditor at least monthly.
