ORS 110.667: Modification of Convention support order; requirements.

(1) A tribunal of this state may not modify a Convention child support order if the obligee remains a resident of the foreign country where the support order was issued unless: (a) The obligee submits to the jurisdiction of a tribunal of this state, either expressly or by defending on the merits of the case without objecting to the jurisdiction at the first available opportunity; or (b) The foreign tribunal lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its support order or issue a new support order. (2) If a tribunal of this state does not modify a Convention child support order because the order is not recognized in this state, ORS 110.660 (3) applies. [2015 c.298 §72]
