a. The obligee submits to the jurisdiction of a tribunal of this state, either expressly or by defending on the merits of the case without objecting to the jurisdiction at the first available opportunity.
b. The foreign tribunal lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its support order or issue a new support order.
