(3) In the event that the Juvenile Court finds that there were insufficient grounds for the initial removal, but that the child is to remain in the custody of the state, the Juvenile Court shall order that the parents or any other obligated persons are responsible for support from the point at which it became improper to return the child to the home of his or her parent, parents, or legal guardians.
(4) The attorney general shall represent the division in any legal action taken to enforce this section.
