(8)Payment, to the extent alleged arrears have been paid in whole or in part;
(9)In a case in which the respondent neither appeared nor was represented in the proceeding in the issuing foreign country:
(a)If the law of that country provides for prior notice of proceedings, the respondent did not have proper notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard; or

(3)The issuing court had jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter;

(5)If the order also provides protection for the respondent, a petition, application, or other written pleading was filed with the issuing court seeking such an order and the issuing court made specific findings that the respondent was entitled to the order; and
