Modification of child support order of another state
Official statutory text
A. If Section 601-613 of this title does not apply, upon
petition a tribunal of this state may modify a child support order
issued in another state which is registered in this state if, after
notice and hearing, the tribunal finds that:
1. The following requirements are met:
a. neither the child, nor the obligee who is an
individual, nor the obligor resides in the issuing
state,
b. a petitioner who is a nonresident of this state seeks
modification, and
c. the respondent is subject to the personal jurisdiction
of the tribunal of this state; or
2. This state is the residence of the child, or a party who is
an individual is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the
tribunal of this state, and all of the parties who are individuals
have filed consents in a record in the issuing tribunal for a
tribunal of this state to modify the support order and assume
continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
B. Modification of a registered child support order is subject
to the same requirements, procedures, and defenses that apply to the
modification of an order issued by a tribunal of this state and the
order may be enforced and satisfied in the same manner.
C. A tribunal of this state may not modify any aspect of a
child support order that may not be modified under the law of the
issuing state, including the duration of the obligation of support.
If two or more tribunals have issued child support orders for the
same obligor and same child, the order that controls and must be so
recognized under Section 601-207 of this title establishes the
aspects of the support order which are nonmodifiable.
D. In a proceeding to modify a child support order, the law of
the state that is determined to have issued the initial controlling
order governs the duration of the obligation of support. The
obligor's fulfillment of the duty of support established by such
order precludes imposition of a further obligation of support by a
tribunal of this state.
E. On issuance of an order by a tribunal of this state
modifying a child support order issued in another state, the

tribunal of this state becomes the tribunal having continuing,
exclusive jurisdiction.
F. Notwithstanding subsections (a) through (e) and subsection B
of Section 601- 201 of this title, a tribunal of this state retains
jurisdiction to modify an order issued by a tribunal of this state
if:
1. One party resides in another state; and
2. The other party resides outside the United States.
