Okla. Stat. tit. 43, § 43-601-708

support orders - Exceptions

A. Except as otherwise provided in subsection B of this

section, a tribunal of this state shall recognize and enforce a

registered convention support order.

B. 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:

1. Recognition and enforcement of the order is manifestly

incompatible with public policy, including the failure of the

issuing tribunal to observe minimum standards of due process, which

include notice and an opportunity to be heard;

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 43. Marriage and Family Page 207

2. The issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction consistent

with Section 601-201 of this title;

3. The order is not enforceable in the issuing country;

4. The order was obtained by fraud in connection with a matter

of procedure;

5. A record transmitted in accordance with Section 601-706 of

this title lacks authenticity or integrity;

6. A proceeding between the same parties and having the same

purpose is pending before a tribunal of this state and that

proceeding was the first to be filed;

7. The order is incompatible with a more recent support order

involving the same parties and having the same purpose if the more

recent support order is entitled to recognition and enforcement

under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act in this state;

8. Payment, to the extent alleged arrears have been paid in

whole or in part;

9. In a case in which the respondent neither appeared nor was

represented in the proceeding in the issuing foreign country:

a. if the law of that country provides for prior notice

of proceedings, the respondent did not have proper

notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be

heard, or

b. if the law of that country does not provide for prior

notice of the proceedings, the respondent 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

10. The order was made in violation of Section 601-711 of this

title.

C. If a tribunal of this state does not recognize a convention

support order under paragraphs 2, 4 or 9 of subsection B of this

section:

1. 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

2. The Oklahoma 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 601-704 of this title.
