4910.  (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 4930 to receive evidence from another state and Section 4932
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.



4910.  (a) A tribunal of this state that has issued a child support
order consistent with the law of this state may serve as an
initiating tribunal to request a tribunal of another state to enforce
the order, if the order is the controlling order and has not been
modified by a tribunal of another state that assumed jurisdiction
pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, or a money
judgment for arrears of support and interest on the order accrued
before a determination that an order of another state is the
controlling order.
   (b) A tribunal of this state having continuing jurisdiction over a
support order may act as a responding tribunal to enforce the order.
