McCORMICK, Justice

¶1(concurring specially).

¶2While I join the court’s opinion, I write separately to add that I believe necessary legal services for an indigent child in a child in need of assistance proceeding are necessaries for which parents are obligated under section 597.14, The Code, and for which they may be held liable in an action by the county under that statute. In addition to the cases cited in footnote 1 of the court’s opinion, see discussion and cases cited in 59 Am.Jur.2d Parent and Child § 55 at 145 (1971), and 67 C.J.S. Parent and Child § 16 at 703 (1950).

¶3LeGRAND, J., joins in this special concurrence.
