Registration of all non-Oklahoma Orders must occur for CSS to take many enforcement actions. In other words, registration of an order from a jurisdiction other than Oklahoma District or Administrative court is a necessary first step before the order may be enforced or modified in Oklahoma. Registration gives the obligor the opportunity to challenge whether the order is entitled to be enforced, is the most recent order entered, or whether the alleged arrears are correct.
While registration may be performed in either administrative or district court the steps are slightly different for each court and are described in separate articles.
