(a) Legal basis. Oklahoma Department of Human Services Child Support Services (CSS) follows the provisions of Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 340:25-5-270 when Oklahoma is providing child support services on international cases, except for time frames specified per Section 303.7 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

(b) Foreign reciprocating countries. CSS initiates or responds to proceedings with foreign reciprocating countries per Section 659A of Title 42 of the United States Code.

(c) Conversion of child support orders to foreign currency.

(1) Upon request of a foreign responding tribunal, CSS converts the child support order amount into foreign currency and prepares certificates or other documents to be issued by the Oklahoma tribunal per Section 601-304 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes (43 O.S. § 601-304 ).

(2) Upon request of a foreign initiating tribunal to enforce an order specified in foreign currency, CSS converts the child support order amount into United States dollars and requests an Oklahoma tribunal to make a finding of the converted child support amount.

(d) Modification of international orders.

(1) When modification of an order of a foreign country is requested and that country cannot or will not modify its order, CSS seeks a modification of the foreign order in an Oklahoma tribunal when Oklahoma has personal jurisdiction over both parties, as provided per 43 O.S. § 601-616.

(2) When CSS determines another state has jurisdiction over both parties, CSS forwards a Child Support Enforcement Transmittal # 1 to the state with jurisdiction over the parties requesting that state to register and modify the foreign order.
