(1) When a support order or income-withholding order issued in another state is registered, the registering tribunal shall notify the nonregistering party. The notice must be accompanied by a copy of the registered order and the documents and relevant information accompanying the order.

 (2) The notice must inform the nonregistering party:

 (a) That a registered order is enforceable as of the date of registration in the same manner as an order issued by a tribunal of this state;

 (b) That a hearing to contest the validity or enforcement of the registered order must be requested within twenty (20) days after notice;

 (c) That failure to contest the validity or enforcement of the registered order in a timely manner will result in confirmation of the order and enforcement of the order and the alleged arrearages and precludes further contest of that order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted; and

 (d) Of the amount of any alleged arrearages.

 (3) Upon registering an income-withholding order for enforcement, the registering tribunal shall notify the obligor's employer pursuant to Sections 93-11-101 through 93-11-119, Mississippi Code of 1972.
