New Mexico Statutes Chapter 40. Domestic Affairs § 40-6A-708. Recognition and enforcement of registered convention support order

(1) recognition and enforcement of the order is manifestly incompatible with public policy, including the failure of the issuing tribunal to observe minimum standards of due process, which include notice and an opportunity to be heard;

(6) a proceeding between the same parties and having the same purpose is pending before a tribunal of this state and that proceeding was the first to be filed;

(7) the order is incompatible with a more recent support order involving the same parties and having the same purpose if the more recent support order is entitled to recognition and enforcement pursuant to Sections 40-6A-701 through 40-6A-713 NMSA 1978 in this state;

(8) payment, to the extent alleged arrears have been paid in whole or in part;
