(a) The circuit court shall only address the issues of the propriety of the levy and whether the levy amount is correct.
(b) The circuit court shall not admit evidence or consider an issue that is related to custody, parenting time, or the amount of support under a support order unless that evidence is related to the levy against a payer's financial assets, money to be paid, or compensation.
