Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 407

(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, KRS 407.5708(3) applies.
