§ 580-710. Foreign support agreement. (a) Except as otherwise provided
in subdivisions (c) and (d) of this section, a tribunal of this state
shall recognize and enforce a foreign support agreement registered in
this state.

(b) An application or direct request for recognition and enforcement
of a foreign support agreement must be accompanied by:

(1) a complete text of the foreign support agreement; and

(2) a record stating that the foreign support agreement is enforceable
as an order of support in the issuing country.

(c) A tribunal of this state may vacate the registration of a foreign
support agreement only if, acting on its own motion, the tribunal finds
that recognition and enforcement would be manifestly incompatible with
public policy.

(d) In a contest of a foreign support agreement, a tribunal of this
state may refuse recognition and enforcement of the agreement if it
finds:

(1) recognition and enforcement of the agreement is manifestly
incompatible with public policy;

(2) the agreement was obtained by fraud or falsification;

(3) the agreement is incompatible with a support order involving the
same parties and having the same purpose in this state, another state,
or a foreign country if the support order is entitled to recognition and
enforcement under this article in this state; or

(4) the record submitted under subdivision (b) of this section lacks
authenticity or integrity.

(e) A proceeding for recognition and enforcement of a foreign support
agreement must be suspended during the pendency of a challenge to or
appeal of the agreement before a tribunal of another state or a foreign
country.
