Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(750 ILCS 22/710) Sec. 710. Foreign support agreement. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d), a tribunal of this State shall recognize and enforce a foreign support agreement registered in this State. (b) An application or direct request for recognition and enforcement of a foreign support agreement must be accompanied by: (1) a complete text of the foreign support agreement; |
|
(2) a record stating that the foreign support
|
| agreement is enforceable as an order of support in the issuing country.
|
|
(c) A tribunal of this State may vacate the registration of a foreign support agreement only if, acting on its own motion, the tribunal finds that recognition and enforcement would be manifestly incompatible with public policy.
(d) In a contest of a foreign support agreement, a tribunal of this State may refuse recognition and enforcement of the agreement if it finds:
(1) recognition and enforcement of the agreement is
|
| manifestly incompatible with public policy;
|
|
(2) the agreement was obtained by fraud or
|
|
(3) the agreement is incompatible with a support
|
| order involving the same parties and having the same purpose in this State, another state, or a foreign country if the support order is entitled to recognition and enforcement under this Act in this State; or
|
|
(4) the record submitted under subsection (b) lacks
|
| authenticity or integrity.
|
|
(e) A proceeding for recognition and enforcement of a foreign support agreement must be suspended during the pendency of a challenge to or appeal of the agreement before a tribunal of another state or a foreign country.
