PLEASE TAKE NOTICE:

Petitioner [specify name]:, has filed a request for registration in the State of New York of the attached Child Custody or Visitation Order, entered by [specify court and location]: on [specify date]:

Once registered, an out-of-state custody or visitation order is enforced in the same manner as an order issued by a court in the State of New York.

You may contest this registration by filing an objection within twenty (20) days from the date this notice was mailed based solely upon one or more of the following three grounds:

1. The Court that issued the order did not have jurisdiction; or

2. The custody or visitation determination in the order seeking to be registered has been vacated, stayed or modified; or

3. Notice was not given to you before the Court issued the order sought to be registered.

If you do not file a timely objection to this regulation, the attached custody or visitation order will be confirmed and registered by this Court and you cannot later contest the validity of the registration.

If you file a timely objection to this registration, the matter will be set down for a hearing. If you reside outside of the State of New York, you may apply to testify by telephone, audio-visual means or other electronic means by submitting an Electronic Testimony Application, Form UCCJEA-7, not less than three days before the above hearing date to [specify address and fax number of Court]:
