SECTION 580-614
Notice to issuing tribunal of modification
Family Court Act (FCT) CHAPTER 686, ARTICLE 5-B, PART 6, SUBPART C
§ 580-614. Notice to issuing tribunal of modification. Within thirty
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.
