SECTION 580-507
Administrative enforcement of orders
Family Court Act (FCT) CHAPTER 686, ARTICLE 5-B, PART 5
§ 580-507. Administrative enforcement of orders. (a) A party or
support enforcement agency seeking to enforce a support order or an
income withholding order, or both, issued in another state or a foreign
support order may send the documents required for registering the order
to a support enforcement agency of this state.

(b) Upon receipt of the documents, the support enforcement agency,
without initially seeking to register the order, shall consider and, if
appropriate, use any administrative procedure authorized by the law of
this state to enforce a support order or an income withholding order, or
both. If the obligor does not contest administrative enforcement, the
order need not be registered. If the obligor contests the validity or
administrative enforcement of the order, the support enforcement agency
shall register the order pursuant to this article.
