§ 580-615. Jurisdiction to modify child support order of foreign
country.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in section 580-711 of this
article, 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 section 580-611 of this
part has been given or whether 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 pursuant to this section is the controlling order.
