a convention support order shall register the order in this state as

provided in Article 6.

tribunal, which may be in the form recommended by the Hague

Conference on Private International Law;

2. A record stating that the support order is enforceable in

the issuing country;

3. If the respondent did not appear and was not represented in

the proceedings in the issuing country, a record attesting, as

heard in a challenge or appeal on fact or law before a tribunal;

4. A record showing the amount of arrears, if any, and the date

the amount was calculated;
