(2)	A judicial determination of compliance.
(3)	A modification of the support order.
The notice shall also contain the name and address of the court in which the individual shall file the motion and inform the individual that the individual's name shall remain on the certified list unless the judicial review results in a finding by the court that the individual is in compliance with this section.
