(2)that a hearing to contest the validity or enforcement of the registered order must

be requested within 20 days after notice unless the registered order is under Section 707;

(3)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

(4)of the amount of any alleged arrearages.

controlling order;
