(A) Except for deductions from lump sum payments made in accordance with section 3121.0311 of the Revised Code , a withholding or deduction requirement contained in a withholding or deduction notice
described in section 3121.03 of the Revised Code has priority over any order of attachment, any order in aid of execution, and any
other legal process issued under state law against the same earnings, payments, or
account. (B) When two or more withholding notices are received by a payor, the payor shall comply
with all of the requirements contained in the notices to the extent that the total
amount withheld from the obligor's income does not exceed the maximum amount permitted
under section 303(b) of the “Consumer Credit Protection Act,” 15 U.S.C. 1673(b) , withhold amounts in accordance with the allocation set forth in divisions (B)(1)
and (2) of this section, notify each court or child support enforcement agency that

in each notice as current support in the following manner: (1) If the total of the amounts designated in the notices as current support exceeds
the amount available for withholding under section 303(b) of the “Consumer Credit
Protection Act,” 15 U.S.C. 1673(b) , the payor shall allocate to each notice an amount for current support equal to the
amount designated in that notice as current support multiplied by a fraction in which
the numerator is the amount of income available for withholding and the denominator
is the total amount designated in all of the notices as current support. (2) If the total of the amounts designated in the notices as current support does not
exceed the amount available for withholding under section 303(b) of the “Consumer
Credit Protection Act,” 15 U.S.C. 1673(b) , the payor shall pay all of the amounts designated as current support in the notices
and shall allocate to each notice an amount for past-due support equal to the amount
