A party or support enforcement agency seeking to modify, or to modify and enforce, a child-support order issued in another state shall register that order in this State in the same manner provided in §§ 6-601 through 6-608 of this title if the order has not been registered.

§ 6-610 Effect of registration for modification.
A tribunal of this State may enforce a child-support order of another state registered for purposes of modification, in the same manner as if the order had been issued by a tribunal of this State, but the registered support order may be modified only if the requirements of § 6-611 or § 6-613 of this title have been met.

§ 6-611 Modification of child-support order of another state.
(a) If § 6-613 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:
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.
(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 2 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 § 6-207 of this title establishes the aspects of the support order which are nonmodifiable.
(f) Notwithstanding subsections (a) through (e) of this section and § 6-201(b) 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.

§ 6-615 Jurisdiction to modify child-support order of foreign country.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in § 6-711 of this title, if a foreign country lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its child-support order pursuant to its laws, a tribunal of this State may assume jurisdiction to modify the child-support order and bind all individuals subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal whether the consent to modification of a child-support order otherwise required of the individual pursuant to § 6-611 of this title has been given or whether the individual seeking modification is a resident of this State or of the foreign country.
