twenty (20) days after notice unless the registered order is
under W.S. 20-4-207;
(iii) 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
(iv) Of the amount of any alleged arrearages.
(c) If the registering party asserts that two (2) or more

subsection (b) of this section apply to the determination of
