518C.206 ENFORCEMENT AND MODIFICATION OF SUPPORT ORDER BY
TRIBUNAL HAVING CONTINUING JURISDICTION.
(a) A tribunal of this state may serve as an initiating tribunal to request a tribunal of another
state to enforce or modify a support order issued in that state.
(b) A tribunal of this state having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over a support order may
act as a responding tribunal to enforce or modify the order. If a party subject to the continuing,
exclusive jurisdiction of the tribunal no longer resides in the issuing state, in subsequent
proceedings the tribunal may apply section 518C.316 to receive evidence from another state and
section 518C.318 to obtain discovery through a tribunal of another state.
(c) A tribunal of this state which lacks continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over a spousal
support order may not serve as a responding tribunal to modify a spousal support order of another
state.
