1973We had occasion to observe in Hager v. Hager, 1 Ill.App.3d 1047 , 274 N.E.2d 157 , that in the absence of a treaty defining the effect to be given a decree rendered by another country its recognition is founded largely upon a somewhat nebulous doctrine of comity.

1997While the doctrine of comity is one that has long been accepted by the courts in this state (Nelson v. Hix, 122 Ill. 2d 343 , 522 N.E.2d 1214 (1988); Rollins v. Ellwood, 141 Ill. 2d 244 , 565 N.E.2d 1302 (1990)), the specific questions presently raised regarding the application of that doctrine do not appear to have been previously broached.
