If Section 601-613 of this title does not apply, upon\n\npetition a tribunal of this state may modify a child support order\n\nissued in another state which is registered in this state if, after\n\nnotice and hearing, the tribunal finds that:\n\n1. The following requirements are met:\n\na. neither the child, nor the obligee who is an\n\nindividual, nor the obligor resides in the issuing\n\nstate,\n\nb. a petitioner who is a nonresident of this state seeks\n\nmodification, and\n\nc. the respondent is subject to the personal jurisdiction\n\nof the tribunal of this state; or\n\n2. This state is the residence of the child, or a party who is\n\nan individual is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the\n\ntribunal of this state, and all of the parties who are individuals\n\nhave filed consents in a record in the issuing tribunal for a\n\ntribunal of this state to modify the support order and assume\n\ncontinuing, exclusive jurisdiction.\n\nB. Modification of a registered child support order is subject\n\nto the same requirements, procedures, and defenses that apply to the\n\nmodification of an order issued by a tribunal of this state and the\n\norder may be enforced and satisfied in the same manner.\n\nC. A tribunal of this state may not modify any aspect of a\n\nchild support order that may not be modified under the law of the\n\nissuing state, including the duration of the obligation of support.\n\nIf two or more tribunals have issued child support orders for the\n\nsame obligor and same child, the order that controls and must be so\n\nrecognized under Section 601-207 of this title establishes the\n\naspects of the support order which are nonmodifiable.\n\nD. In a proceeding to modify a child support order, the law of\n\nthe state that is determined to have issued the initial controlling\n\norder governs the duration of the obligation of support. The\n\nobligor's fulfillment of the duty of support established by such\n\norder precludes imposition of a further obligation of support by a\n\ntribunal of this state.\n\nE. On issuance of an order by a tribunal of this state\n\nmodifying a child support order issued in another state, the\n\ntribunal of this state becomes the tribunal having continuing,\n\nexclusive jurisdiction.\n\nF. Notwithstanding subsections (a) through (e) and subsection B\n\nof Section 601- 201 of this title, a tribunal of this state retains\n\njurisdiction to modify an order issued by a tribunal of this state\n\nif:\n\n1. One party resides in another state; and\n\n2. The other party resides outside the United States.","path":["OK Code","Title 43"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os43.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"0904f9143081eef0486b3e0c22df89b18e7603a469eeb1f5fb8c757a37c6921a","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-43-43-601-610","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-43-43-601-612"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
