Art. 1305.7. 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 Chapter.
