§ 159.614. NOTICE TO ISSUING TRIBUNAL OF 
MODIFICATION.  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 in 
each tribunal in which the party knows the earlier order has been 
registered.  A party who obtains the order and fails to file a 
certified copy is subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in 
which the issue of failure to file arises.  The failure to file does 
not affect the validity or enforceability of the modified order of 
the new tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
