PART 5 ENFORCEMENT OF ORDER OF ANOTHER STATE WITHOUT REGISTRATION Editor's note: This article was repealed and reenacted in 1993, and this part 5 was subsequently amended with relocations in 1997, resulting in the addition, relocation, and elimination of sections as well as subject matter. For amendments to this part 5 prior to 1997, consult the Colorado statutory research explanatory note and the table itemizing the replacement volumes and supplements to the original volume of C.R.S. 1973 beginning on page vii in the front of this volume and the editor's note following the article heading. Former C.R.S. section numbers prior to 1997 are shown in editor's notes following those sections that were relocated. INTRODUCTORY COMMENT This article governs direct filing of an income withholding order from one state to an employer in another state. Except as provided in Section 507, the provisions of this article only apply to an interstate case and do not apply to an income‑withholding order from a foreign country. While U.S. employers routinely enforce sister state income‑ withholding orders, enforcement of the wide variety of possible foreign support orderswould provide too many complexities and challenges to justify requiring an employer to interpret and enforce an ostensible foreign income‑withholding order. Indeed, income‑ withholding orders from a foreign country are quite rare at this time, although instances of that enforcement remedy probably will increase in the future.
