Foreign support agreement.

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 foreign 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 pursuant to Sections 40-6A- 701 through 40-6A-713 NMSA 1978 in this state; or (4) the record submitted pursuant to 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.
