WY Stat § 20-4-182 (2021)

20-4-182. 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 order may be modified only if the requirements of W.S. 20-4-183 or 20-4-193 have been met.
WY Stat § 20-4-183 (2021)
2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 20 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 4 - Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Section 20-4-183 - Modification of Child Support Order of Another State.

20-4-183. Modification of child support order of another state.| (a) If W.S. 20-4-193 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issued in another state which is registered in this state if, after notice and hearing, the tribunal finds that:  (i) Repealed By Laws 2005, ch. 103, § 3.  (ii) The following requirements are met:  (A) Neither the child, 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  (iii) This state is the state of 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 for support. If two (2) or more tribunals have issued child support orders for the same obligor and same child, the order that controls and shall be so recognized under W.S. 20-4-148 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 that 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) of this section and W.S. 20-4-142(b), a tribunal of this state retains jurisdiction to modify an order issued by a tribunal of this state if:  (i) One (1) party resides in another state; and  (ii) The other party resides outside the United States.

2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 20 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 4 - Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Section 20-4-187 - Conditions of Rendition.

20-4-187. Conditions of rendition.| (a) Before making demand that the governor of another state surrender an individual charged criminally in this state with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee, the governor of this state may require a prosecutor of this state to demonstrate that at least sixty (60) days previously the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this act or that the proceeding would be of no avail.  (b) If, under this act or a law substantially similar to this act, the governor of another state makes a demand that the governor of this state surrender an individual charged criminally in that state with having failed to provide for the support of a child or other individual to whom a duty of support is owed, the governor may require a prosecutor to investigate the demand and report whether a proceeding for support has been initiated or would be effective. If it appears that a proceeding would be effective but has not been initiated, the governor may delay honoring the demand for a reasonable time to permit the initiation of a` proceeding.  (c) If a proceeding for support has been initiated and the individual whose rendition is demanded prevails, the governor may decline to honor the demand.
