expeditious collection and transfer of child support from | | obligor to obligee. States may choose whether only a tribunal | | may order redirection of support payments, or whether a support | | enforcement agency of the State is also authorized to render | | such an order. Under either approach, the request for such | | redirection that must be acted upon may only be made by a | | support enforcement agency in either the issuing State or | | another State. The basic idea is that redirection of payments | | will be facilitated, with the proviso that the issuing tribunal | | be kept informed as to the disposition of the payments made | | under its order. |
