support agreements - Exceptions.

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.

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.
