Jurisdiction to Modify Child-Support Order of Foreign

Country.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in § 35711, 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 § 35611 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.
