Article 7 - Support Proceeding Under Convention
§ 93-25-708. Recognition and enforcement of registered Convention support order

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), a tribunal of this state shall recognize and enforce a registered Convention support order.
The following grounds are the only grounds on which a tribunal of this state may refuse recognition and enforcement of a registered Convention support order:
If the law of that country provides for prior notice of proceedings, the defendant did not have proper notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard; or
If the law of that country does not provide for prior notice of the proceedings, the defendant did not have proper notice of the order and an opportunity to be heard in a challenge or appeal on fact or law before a tribunal; or
If a tribunal of this state does not recognize a Convention support order under subsection (b)(2), (4), or (9):
The tribunal may not dismiss the proceeding without allowing a reasonable time for a party to request the establishment of a new Convention support order; and
The Department of Human Services shall take all appropriate measures to request a child-support order for the obligee if the application for recognition and enforcement was received under Section 93-25-704.
