1. If section 14-12.2-46.1 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: a. The following requirements are met: (1) Neither the child, nor the obligee who is an individual, nor the obligor resides in the issuing state; (2) A petitioner who is a nonresident of this state seeks modification; and (3) The respondent is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal of this state; or b. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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 14-12.2-10 establishes the aspects of the support order which are nonmodifiable. 4. 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 that order precludes imposition of a further obligation of support by a tribunal of this state. 5. 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.
6. Without regard to the restrictions on modification of a child support order stated in subsection 2 of section 14-12.2-04 and this section, a tribunal of this state retains jurisdiction to modify an order issued by a tribunal of this state if: a. One party resides in another state; and b. The other party resides outside the United States.
14-12.2-46. (612) Recognition of order modified in another state. If a child support order issued by a tribunal of this state is modified by a tribunal of another state which assumed jurisdiction pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, a tribunal of this state: 1. May enforce its order that was modified only as to arrears and interest accruing before the modification; 2. May provide appropriate relief for violations of its order which occurred before the effective date of the modification; and 3. Shall recognize the modifying order of the other state, upon registration, for the purpose of enforcement.
14-12.2-46.1. (613) Jurisdiction to modify child support order of another state when individual parties reside in this state. 1. If all of the parties who are individuals reside in this state and the child does not reside in the issuing state, a tribunal of this state has jurisdiction to enforce and to modify the issuing state's child support order in a proceeding to register that order. 2. A tribunal of this state exercising jurisdiction under this section shall apply the provisions of sections 14-12.2-01 through 14-12.2-12, sections 14-12.2-35 through 14-12.2-46.4, and the procedural and substantive law of this state to the proceeding for enforcement or modification. Sections 14-12.2-13 through 14-12.2-34 and sections 14-12.2-47, 14-12.2-48, and 14-12.2-49 do not apply.
