Marriage of Scott v. Scott · 1992 1 citation

Under the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (RURESA), if the duty of support is based on a foreign support order, the obligee may register the foreign support order in a court of this state. Minn. Stat. § 518C.22 (1990). The court administrator is required to promptly send a notice of the registration to the obligor by certified or registered mail. Minn. Stat. § 518C.24, subd. 2 (1990). If the obligor does not petition to vacate the registration within 20 days after the notice is mailed, the registered support order is confirmed. Minn. Stat. § 518C.25, subd. 2 (1990). Upon registration, the foreign support order is treated in the same manner as a support order issued by the court of this state and is subject to the same procedures for reopening, vacating, or staying as a support order of this state. Minn. Stat. § 518C.25, subd. 1 (1990).
