2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 25. Marital and Domestic Relations|Chapter 25. Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Article 6. Registration, Enforcement, and Modification of Support Order.|Sec. 25.25.605. Notice of registration of order.

AK Stat § 25.25.609 (2021)

AK Stat § 25.25.610 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 25. Marital and Domestic Relations|Chapter 25. Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Article 6. Registration, Enforcement, and Modification of Support Order.|Sec. 25.25.610. 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 AS 25.25.611 or 25.25.613 have been met.
AK Stat § 25.25.611 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 25. Marital and Domestic Relations|Chapter 25. Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Article 6. Registration, Enforcement, and Modification of Support Order.|Sec. 25.25.611. Modification of child support order of another state.

(a) If AS 25.25.613 does not apply, upon complaint or comparable pleading, a tribunal of this state may modify a child support order issued in another state that is registered in this state, if, after notice and an opportunity for hearing, the tribunal finds that (1) the following requirements are met: (A) neither the child, nor the obligee who is an individual, nor the obligor resides in the issuing state; (B) a petitioner who is not a resident 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, and all of the parties who are individuals have filed consents in a record in the issuing tribunal providing that a tribunal of this state may 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 of support. If two or more tribunals have issued child support orders for the same obligor and child, the order that is controlling and must be recognized under the provisions of AS 25.25.207 establishes the nonmodifiable aspects of the support order. (d) 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 of continuing, exclusive jurisdiction. (e) 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. (f) Notwithstanding (a) - (e) of this section and AS 25.25.201(b), 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.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 25. Marital and Domestic Relations|Chapter 25. Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Article 6. Registration, Enforcement, and Modification of Support Order.|Sec. 25.25.612. 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 that assumed jurisdiction under 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 that 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.

Registration, Enforcement, and Modification of Support Order.|Sec. 25.25.613. Jurisdiction to modify support order of another state when individual parties reside in this state.

(a) If all of the individual parties 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. (b) A tribunal of this state exercising jurisdiction as provided in this section shall apply the provisions of AS 25.25.101 - 25.25.209 and 25.25.601 - 25.25.614 to the enforcement or modification proceeding. AS 25.25.301 - 25.25.507, 25.25.702 - 25.25.714, 25.25.801, and 25.25.802 do not apply, and the tribunal shall apply the procedural and substantive law of this state.

Within 30 days after issuance of a modified child support order, the party obtaining the modification shall file a certified copy of the order with the issuing tribunal that had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier order and with each tribunal in which the party knows that an earlier order has been registered. Failure of the party obtaining the order to file a certified copy as required subjects that party to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises, but that failure has no effect on the validity or enforceability of the modified order of the new tribunal of continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
AK Stat § 25.25.615 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 25. Marital and Domestic Relations|Chapter 25. Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Article 6. Registration, Enforcement, and Modification of Support Order.|Sec. 25.25.615. Jurisdiction to modify child support order of foreign country.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in AS 25.25.712, if a foreign country lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its child support order under 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, regardless of whether the consent to modification of a child support order otherwise required of the individual under AS 25.25.611 has been given or the individual seeking modification is a resident of this state or of the foreign country. (b) An order issued by a tribunal of this state modifying a foreign child support order under this section is the controlling order.
