§ 506 - Contest by obligor - Vermont Statutes

§ 506. Contest by obligor

(a) An obligor may contest the validity or enforcement of an income withholding order issued in another state and received directly by an employer in this state in the same manner as if the order had been issued by a tribunal of this state. Section 604 (Choice of Law) of this title applies to the contest.

(b) The obligor shall give notice of the contest to:

(1) a support enforcement agency providing services to the obligee;

(2) each employer that has directly received an income withholding order; and

(3) the person or agency designated to receive payments in the income withholding order or if no person or agency is designated, to the obligee.

(c) This section does not create a statutory right to contest in this state the amount of the child support obligation in the underlying order or other issues in related proceedings or orders. (Added 1997, No. 11, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1998.)
