N.Y. Family Court Act § 580-711: Modification of Convention child support order

§ 580-711. 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,

subdivision (c) of section 580-708 of this part applies.
