A. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 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 act in this state; or
4. The record submitted under subsection 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.
