support order is issued; or

(b) Even if this state is not the residence of the obligor, the individual obligee, o r

the child for whose benefit the support order is issued, the parties consent in a

record or in open court that the tribunal of this state may continue to exercise

jurisdiction to modify its order.

(2) A tribunal of this state that has issued a child supp ort order consistent with the law

of this state may not exercise continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify the order

if:

of this state that a tribunal of another state that has jurisdiction over at least

one (1) of the parties who is an individual or that is located in the state of

residence of the child may modify the order and assume continuing, exclusive

support order may serve as an initiating tribunal to request a tribunal of another

state to modify a support order issued in that state.
