and enforcement of the agreement if it finds any of the following: (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

state. (4) The record submitted under division (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.
