N.J. Stat. § 2A:4-30.194: Modification of convention child support order.

71. Modification of Convention child support order.

a. 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:

(1) 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

(2) the foreign tribunal lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its support order or issue a new support order.

b. If a tribunal of this State does not modify a Convention child support order because the order is not recognized in this State, subsection c. of section 68 of this act applies.
