NOTICE OF HEARING
1. A hearing on this application will be held as follows (see instructions on how to get a hearing date and for more information about  
what an International Hague Convention Support Order is and how to fill out this form):  
recognition and enforcement of the order is manifestly incompatible with public policy, including the failure of the issuing 
court or tribunal to observe minimum standards of due process, which include notice and an opportunity to be heard.    
a record registering this order as required by Family Code section 5700.706 is not authentic or lacks integrity.  
the order is incompatible with a more recent support order involving the same parties and having the same purpose. The 
more recent support order is entitled to recognition and enforcement under Family Code sections 5700.101–5700.905.

Please follow these instructions to complete the Request for Hearing Regarding Registration of an International Hague Convention  
Support Order (form FL-594) if you do not have an attorney representing you. Your attorney, if you have one, should complete this form.
This form should be used if you received a notice or statement of registration telling you that a support order made in another

regarding an out-of-state or foreign order, which is not an International Hague Convention Support Order, use form FL-575. 
You must file your completed request for hearing with the court clerk. You must also give the court clerk addressed envelopes with  
postage paid to mail copies of your request for hearing to the other parties. The address of the court clerk is the same as the one 
shown for the superior court on the notice or statement of registration you received. You may have to pay a filing fee to request a 
hearing. If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, you must file a Request to Waive Court Fees (form FW-001). You can get this form 
from the court clerk, family law facilitator, or California Courts website at www.courts.ca.gov.

2. In this section you are telling the court why you do not want the support order to be recognized or enforced in California. Check the 
box by your reason(s). Check the corresponding box, a–k, if
a. recognition and enforcement of the order conflicts with public policy. This includes the failure of the court or

FL-594
An International Hague Convention Support Order is one that was made under the Convention on the International Recovery of  
Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance, concluded at The Hague on November 23, 2007. The Convention is now part  
of Family Code sections 5700.101–5700.905.
g. the order is conflicting with a more recent support order between the same parties and having the same 
purpose. 
h. you have paid all of the alleged arrears or some of the alleged arrears.
i. the country issuing the order requires prior notice of a hearing, but you did not receive notice of the hearing and 
you did not attend the hearing, and you did not have an attorney representing you in the hearing.
j. the country issuing the order does not require prior notice of proceedings, you did not receive notice of the  
hearing and you did not have the opportunity to be heard in the proceeding.
FL-594 [New January 1, 2017]
c. the order cannot be enforced in the country that issued it.
k. the order was made in violation of Family Code section 5700.711 because it was changed when you were a 
resident of the country where the support order was issued, and you did not agree to the case being heard in California either  
expressly or by defending yourself without objecting to the case being heard in California as soon as possible. If the country 
where your order was issued will not or cannot change the support order or make a new one, the case may be heard in 
California.
