     518C.502 Administrative enforcement of orders. 

    (a) A party seeking to enforce a support order or an 
 income-withholding order, or both, issued by a tribunal of 
 another state 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 chapter.
