a convention support order shall register the order in this state as

provided in Article 6.

B. Notwithstanding Sections 601-311 and subparagraph a of

registration of a Convention support order must be accompanied by:

1. A complete text of the support order or an abstract or

extract of the support order drawn up by the issuing foreign

tribunal, which may be in the form recommended by the Hague

Conference on Private International Law;

2. A record stating that the support order is enforceable in

the issuing country;

3. If the respondent did not appear and was not represented in

the proceedings in the issuing country, a record attesting, as

appropriate, either that the respondent had proper notice of the

proceedings and an opportunity to be heard or that the respondent

had proper notice of the support order and an opportunity to be

heard in a challenge or appeal on fact or law before a tribunal;

4. A record showing the amount of arrears, if any, and the date

the amount was calculated;

5. A record showing a requirement for automatic adjustment of

the amount of support, if any, and the information necessary to make

applicant received free legal assistance in the issuing country.

seek recognition and partial enforcement of the order.

D. A tribunal of this state may vacate the registration of a

Convention support order without the filing of a contest under

Section 601-707 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes only if, acting

on its own motion, the tribunal finds that recognition and

enforcement of the order would be manifestly incompatible with

public policy.

E. The tribunal shall promptly notify the parties of the

registration or the order vacating the registration of a convention

support order.
