   (b) An application or direct request for recognition and enforcement of a foreign support agreement must be accompanied by

        (1) recognition and enforcement of the agreement is manifestly incompatible with public policy;
        (2) the agreement was obtained by fraud or falsification;
        (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 chapter in this state; or
        (4) the record submitted under (b) of this section 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.
