N.Y. Family Court Act § 580-507: Administrative enforcement of orders

§ 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.
