1. Upon registration the registered foreign support order shall be treated in the same manner as a support order issued by a court of this state. The order shall have the same effect and shall be subject to the same procedures, defenses, and proceedings for reopening, vacating, or staying as a support order of this state and may be enforced and satisfied in like manner.
2. At a hearing to enforce the registered support order the respondent may present only matters that would be available to the respondent as defenses in an action to enforce a foreign money judgment. If the respondent states to the court that an appeal from the order is pending or will be taken or that a stay of execution has been granted, the court shall stay enforcement of the order until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal has expired, or the order is vacated, upon satisfactory proof that the respondent has furnished security for payment of the support as ordered by the court. If the respondent shows to the court any ground upon which enforcement of a support order of this state may be stayed the court shall stay enforcement of the order for an appropriate period if the respondent furnishes the same security for payment of the support ordered that is required for a support order of this state.
