A. The sentence which may be imposed by section 13-3613, or its execution, may be suspended by the court upon condition that defendant give a good and sufficient bond to the state in such penal sum as the court determines, not exceeding one thousand dollars, conditioned for the payment of an amount the court may order, not exceeding thirty dollars per month, for the support, care and maintenance of the child to whose dependency the person has contributed, and the money shall be expended under direction of the court for such purposes.
B. In suspending the sentence, or its execution, the court may also permit the child to remain in the custody of the defendant upon conditions as the court deems proper.
C. When it appears to the court that any condition contained in the bond or imposed by the court in permitting the child to remain in custody of defendant has been breached, the court may revoke the suspension, and the sentence thereunder shall commence from the date upon which the sentence is imposed or ordered to be enforced.
