Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(1) After a
child support order issued in another state has been registered in this state,
unless the provisions of section 7-1052, Idaho Code, apply, the responding
tribunal of this state may modify that order only if, after notice and
hearing, it finds that:
(a) The following requirements are met:
(i) The child, the individual obligee, and the obligor do not
reside in the issuing state;
(ii) A petitioner who is a nonresident of the state seeks
modification; and
(iii) The respondent is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the
tribunal of this state; or
(b) An individual party or the child is subject to the personal
jurisdiction of the tribunal and all of the individual parties have filed
a written consent in the issuing tribunal providing that a tribunal of
this state may modify the support order and assume continuing, exclusive
jurisdiction over the order. However, if the issuing state is a foreign
jurisdiction which has not enacted this chapter, the written consent of
the individual party residing in this state is not required for the
tribunal to assume jurisdiction to modify the child support order.
(2) Modification of a registered child support order is subject to the
same requirements, procedures, and defenses that apply to the modification of
an order issued by a tribunal of this state and the order may be enforced and
satisfied in the same manner.
(3) A tribunal of this state may not modify any aspect of a child support
order that may not be modified under the law of the issuing state. If two (2)
or more tribunals have issued child support orders for the same obligor and
child, the order that is controlling and must be recognized under the
provisions of section 7-1010, Idaho Code, establishes the nonmodifiable
aspects of the support order.
(4) On issuance of an order modifying a child support order issued in
another state, a tribunal of this state becomes the tribunal of continuing,
exclusive jurisdiction.
