§ 2a:4-30.

Registration of Convention support order. a. Except as otherwise provided in this article, a party who is an individual or a

support enforcement agency seeking recognition of a Convention support order shall

register the order in this State as provided in Article 6. 1 b. Notwithstanding section 27 and subsection a. of section 46 of this act, 2 a request for registration of a Convention support order shall be accompanied by: (1) a complete text of the support order or an abstract or extract of the support

order drawn up by the issuing foreign 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 appropriate, either that the respondent

had proper notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard or that the respondent

had proper notice of the support order and an opportunity to be 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; (5) a record showing a requirement for automatic adjustment of the amount of support,

if any, and the information necessary to make the appropriate calculations; and (6) if necessary, a record showing the extent to which the applicant received free

legal assistance in the issuing country. c. A request for registration of a Convention support order may seek recognition and

partial enforcement of the order. d. A tribunal of this State may vacate the registration of a Convention support order

without the filing of a contest under section 67 of this act 3 only if, acting on its own motion, the tribunal finds that recognition and enforcement

of the order would be manifestly incompatible with public policy. e. The tribunal shall promptly notify the parties of the registration or the order

vacating the registration of a Convention support order. 1
