        252K.507  ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT OF ORDERS.
         1.  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.
         2.  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.
