[§576B-611]  Modification of child support
order of another state.  (a)  After a child support order issued in another
state has been registered in this State, the responding tribunal of this State
may modify that order only if section 576B-613 does not apply and after notice
and hearing it finds that:



(1)  The following requirements are met:



(A)  The child, the individual obligee, and the
obligor do not reside 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)  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 written consents in the issuing
tribunal for a tribunal of this State to modify the support order and assume
continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the order.  However, if the issuing
state is a foreign jurisdiction that has not enacted a law or established
procedures substantially similar to the procedures under this chapter, the
consent otherwise required of an individual residing in this State is not
required for the tribunal to assume jurisdiction to modify the child support
order.



(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.  If two or more tribunals have issued child support orders
for the same obligor and child, the order that controls and must be so
recognized under section 576B-207 establishes the aspects of the support order
which are nonmodifiable.



(d)  On issuance of an order modifying a child
support order issued in another state, a tribunal of this State becomes the
tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction. [L 1997, c 295, pt of §1]
