I. BACKGROUND

On March 9, 2012, the trial court issued a decision ordering that a 2001 Israeli court order requiring Reuven to pay child support to Linda be registered for enforcement in California pursuant to Family Code section 4951. The court ruled the Israeli support order is enforceable in the same manner as a California court support order. The trial court clerk mailed the decision to the parties on March 9, 2012. The trial court entered a statement of registration of the Israeli support order on March 12, 2012, and the clerk mailed the statement to the parties the same day. On March 23, 2012, Reuven filed a motion to vacate the March 9, 2012 decision pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 663.2 Reuven filed a supplemental motion to vacate on April 19, 2012. After a hearing on May 25, 2012, the trial court issued an order denying the motion to vacate on July 11, 2012. The court clerk mailed that order to the parties on July 11, 2012. On July 23, 2012, Reuven filed a notice of appeal from the March 9, 2012 decision and the July 11, 2012 order denying the motion to vacate.
