country. (a) Except as otherwise provided in section 580-711 of this

article, if a foreign country lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction

to modify its child support order pursuant to its laws, a tribunal of

this state may assume jurisdiction to modify the child support order and

bind all individuals subject to the personal jurisdiction of the

otherwise required of the individual pursuant to section 580-611 of this

part has been given or whether the individual seeking modification is a

resident of this state or of the foreign country.

(b) An order issued by a tribunal of this state modifying a foreign

child support order pursuant to this section is the controlling order.
