        252D.23  FILING OF WITHHOLDING ORDER -- ORDER
      EFFECTIVE AS DISTRICT COURT ORDER.
         An income withholding order entered by the child support recovery
      unit pursuant to this chapter shall be filed with the clerk of the
      district court.  In lieu of any signature on the order which may
      otherwise be required by law or rule, the order shall have affixed
      the name and address of the appropriate child support office.  For
      the purposes of demonstrating compliance by the payor of income, the
      copy of the withholding order or the notice of the order received,
      whether or not the copy of the order is file-stamped, shall have all
      the force, effect, and attributes of a docketed order of the district
      court including, but not limited to, availability of contempt of
      court proceedings against a payor of income for noncompliance.
      However, any information contained in the income withholding order or
      the notice of the order related to the amount of the accruing or
      accrued support obligation which does not reflect the correct amount
      of support due does not modify the underlying support judgment.
