The statute's own words
does not contravene any Federal or State statute or the order of any court or responsible administrative authority, and (ii)is in the best interest of the payee, taking into account the welfare and support of the payee’s dependents
That sentence is the whole of what 26 U.S.C. 5891 says on this point in the section cited. It is reproduced here for reporting and comment; it is not legal advice, and nothing on this page is our reading of it.
The same question in other jurisdictions

Side by side, each in its own statute's words. Where two jurisdictions differ, the difference is between the two quotations; it is not our characterisation of either.
