Recognition of order modified in another state
§ 580-612. Recognition of order modified in another state. If a child support order issued by a tribunal of this state is modified by a tribunal of another state which assumed jurisdiction pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, a tribunal of this state:
(a) may enforce its order that was modified only as to arrears and interest accruing before the modification;
(b) may provide appropriate relief for violations of its order which occurred before the effective date of the modification; and
(c) shall recognize the modifying order of the other state, upon registration, for the purpose of enforcement.
If another state (properly assuming UIFSA jurisdiction) modifies NY's order, NY may enforce its old order only for arrears/interest before the modification, may address pre-modification violations, and must recognize the modifying order on registration.
Marked in the text: penalties, time limits, sums of money. Editorial emphasis added by this edition; it does not appear in the statute as enacted.
