§ 442. Order of support by a spouse. If the court finds after a
hearing that a husband or wife is chargeable under section four hundred
twelve with the support of his or her spouse and is possessed of
sufficient means or able to earn such means, the court shall make an
order requiring the husband or wife to pay weekly or at other fixed
periods a fair and reasonable sum for or towards the support of the
other spouse. The court shall require the spouse chargeable with
support to make his or her residence known at all times should he or she
move from the address last known to the court by reporting such change
to the support collection unit designated by the appropriate social
services district. Failure to report such change shall subject him or
her to the provisions of section four hundred fifty-four of this act.
