RCW 26.21A.425 Contest by obligor. (1) 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 by registering the order in a tribunal of this state and filing a contest to that order as provided in Article 6 of this chapter, or otherwise contesting the order in the same manner as if the order had been issued by a tribunal of this state.

(2) The obligor shall give notice of the contest to: (a) A support enforcement agency providing services to the obligee; (b) Each employer that has directly received an income-withholding order relating to the obligor; and (c) The person designated to receive payments in the income-withholding order or, if no person or agency is designated, to the obligee.
