A tribunal of this State that has issued a child-support order consistent with the law of this State has and shall exercise continuing and exclusive jurisdiction to modify its child-support order if the order is the controlling order and:\n(a) At the time of the filing of a request for modification, this State is the residence of the obligor, the obligee who is a natural person or the child for whose benefit the support order is issued; or\n(b) Even if this State is not the residence of the obligor, the obligee who is a natural person or 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.\n2. A tribunal of this State that has issued a child-support order consistent with the law of this State may not exercise continuing and exclusive jurisdiction to modify its child-support order if:\n(a) All of the parties who are natural persons file consent in a record with the tribunal of this State that a tribunal of another state that has jurisdiction over at least one of the parties who is a natural person or that is located in the state of residence of the child may modify the order and assume continuing and exclusive jurisdiction; or\n(b) Its order is not the controlling order.\n3. If a tribunal of another state has issued a child-support order pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act or a law substantially similar to that Act which modifies a child-support order of a tribunal of this State, tribunals of this State shall recognize the continuing and exclusive jurisdiction of the tribunal of the other state.\n4. A tribunal of this State that lacks continuing and exclusive jurisdiction to modify a child-support order may serve as an initiating tribunal to request a tribunal of another state to modify a support order issued in that state.\n5. A temporary support order issued ex parte or pending resolution of a jurisdictional conflict does not create continuing and exclusive jurisdiction in the issuing tribunal.","path":["TITLE 11 — DOMESTIC RELATIONS","CHAPTER 130 - INTERJURISDICTIONAL ENFORCEMENT OF SUPPORT","INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT (UNIFORM ACT)","Proceedings Involving Two or More States"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-130.html#NRS130Sec205","current_through":"2025 session (NRS as revised 2026-08-25)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T05:51:32Z","sha256":"fcb1a7094f38bc7d6289bc5870825d2d29cfb1cb7c59dcd8d252977f8d12919d","source_id":"us-nv","stale":true,"prev":"us-nv/nrs-130.204","next":"us-nv/nrs-130.2055"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
