(3) directs the payor to withhold the dollar amount required to be withheld periodically under the order for support for payment of the delinquency.

(b) The income withholding notice and the obligor's copy of the income withholding notice shall be served as provided in subsection (g) of Section 20.

(c) The obligor may contest withholding commenced under this Section by filing a petition to contest withholding with the Clerk of the Circuit Court within 20 days after service of a copy of the income withholding notice on the obligor. However, the grounds for the petition to contest withholding shall be limited to:
