Confirmation of registered support order for enforcement
Official statutory text
A. If the obligor files a timely objection and, after a hearing, the court finds:
(1) There exists a legitimate basis for objecting to the registration, other than the amount of arrearages alleged to be owed, the court shall issue an order vacating the registration of the support order for enforcement.
(2) There exists no legitimate basis for objecting to the registration, other than the amount of arrearages alleged to be owed, the court shall issue an order confirming the registration of the support order for enforcement.
(3) There exists no legitimate basis for objecting to the registration and there is no dispute as to the amount of arrearages owed as stated in the verified statement of support, the court shall issue an order confirming the registration of the support order for enforcement and render a judgment making the arrearages executory.
B. If the obligor fails to file a timely objection, the registered support order is confirmed by operation of law and the amount of arrearages alleged to be owed in the verified statement of support becomes executory in all respects.
