Enforcement and modification of support order by tribunal having
continuing jurisdiction
Sec. 6. (a) An Indiana tribunal may serve as an initiating tribunal
to request a tribunal of another state to enforce or modify a support
order issued in that other state.
(b) An Indiana tribunal 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:
(1) IC 31-18-3-16 regarding receiving evidence from another
state; and
(2) IC 31-18-3-18 regarding obtaining discovery through a
tribunal of another state.
(c) An Indiana tribunal that 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.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.10.
