(§ 4901, subd. (s)(2); § 4951, subd. (a).)

On appeal, Father contends that the trial court (1) "misallocated to Father the burden of proving that Italy is not a state under UIFSA," (2) "improperly deprived Father of an evidentiary hearing to refute the notion that Italy is such a state," (3) "erroneously refused to render a statement of decision," and (4) "erred as a matter of law in concluding that Italy is a state under UIFSA." We shall conclude that Father's contentions lack merit and will affirm the trial court's order.
