A. An income-withholding order issued in another state may be sent by first-class mail to the person or entity defined as the obligor's employer under the income-withholding law of this state without first filing a petition or comparable pleading or registering the order with a tribunal of this state. Upon receipt of the order, the employer shall:

2. Immediately provide a copy of the order to the obligor; and
3. Distribute the funds as directed in the withholding order.
B. An obligor may contest the validity or enforcement of an income-withholding order issued in another state in the same manner as if the order had been issued by a tribunal of this state. Section 39 of this act applies to the contest. The obligor shall give notice of the contest to any support enforcement agency providing services to the obligee and to:
1. The person or agency designated to receive payments in the income-withholding order; or
2. If no person or agency is designated, the obligee.
