Legal Research Home > Pennsylvania Statutes

     § 7502.  Administrative enforcement of orders.
        (a)  Initiation.--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)  Procedure.--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
     part.
