§3321. Modification of child support order subject to Convention
1. Obligee resident of the foreign country. A tribunal of this State may not modify a Convention child support order if the obligee remains a resident of the foreign country where the support order was issued unless:
A. The obligee submits to the jurisdiction of a tribunal of this State, either expressly or by defending on the merits of the case without objecting to the jurisdiction at the first available opportunity; or [2009, c. 95, §83 (NEW); 2009, c. 95, §87 (AFF).]
B. The foreign tribunal lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its support order or issue a new support order. [2009, c. 95, §83 (NEW); 2009, c. 95, §87 (AFF).]
2. Application of section 3318. If a tribunal of this State cannot modify the foreign child support order because the order is unable to be recognized in this State, the provisions of section 3318, subsection 3 apply.
