Nevada § 130.708 - Recognition and enforcement of registered Convention support order

§ 130.708. Recognition and enforcement of registered Convention support order

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a tribunal of this State shall recognize

and enforce a registered Convention support order. 2. 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: (a) 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; (b) The issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction consistent with NRS 130.201 ; (c) The order is not enforceable in the issuing country; (d) The order was obtained by fraud in connection with a matter of procedure; (e) A record transmitted in accordance with NRS 130.706 lacks authenticity or integrity; (f) 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; (g) 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 this chapter in this State; (h) Payment, to the extent alleged arrears have been paid in whole or in part; (i) In a case in which the respondent neither appeared nor was represented in the

proceeding in the issuing foreign country: (1) 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 (2) 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 (j) The order was made in violation of NRS 130.711 . 3. If a tribunal of this State does not recognize a Convention support order under

paragraphs (b), (d), (f) or (i) of subsection 2: (a) 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 (b) The governmental entity identified pursuant to NRS 130.703 shall take all appropriate measures to request a child-support order for the obligee

if the application for recognition and enforcement was received under NRS 130.704 .
