An assignment of wages is not valid against any other person than the parties to the assignment unless the assignment is recorded by the clerk in the office of the Secretary of State. An assignment of wages may not be valid against the employer unless the employer has actual notice of the assignment.

An assignment of wages executed in satisfaction of a child support obligation shall have absolute priority over all previously filed orders against earnings entered pursuant to Title 14, section 3127‑B and former section 3137, and over any other assignment of wages, which orders and assignments were entered after July 24, 1984.
