     (1)  The issuing court or tribunal had jurisdiction over the parties and matter under the laws of the state, tribe, or territory; and

     (2)  The respondent received notice and an opportunity to be heard before the foreign protective order was issued; provided that, in the case of an ex parte order, notice and opportunity to be heard were provided within a reasonable period of time, sufficient to protect the respondent's right to due process.
