registered order must be requested within twenty (20) days after

notice unless the registered order is under Section 601-707 of this

title;

3. That failure to contest the validity or enforcement of the

registered order in a timely manner will result in confirmation of

the order and enforcement of the order and the alleged arrearages;

and

4. Of the amount of any alleged arrearages.

in effect, a notice shall also:

1. Identify the two or more orders and the order alleged by the

determination of which is the controlling order;

3. State that the procedures provided in subsection B of this

section apply to the determination of which is the controlling

order; and

enforcement, the support enforcement agency or the registering
