        252K.206  ENFORCEMENT AND MODIFICATION OF SUPPORT
      ORDER BY TRIBUNAL HAVING CONTINUING JURISDICTION.
         1.  A tribunal of this state may serve as an initiating tribunal
      to request a tribunal of another state to enforce or modify a support
      order issued in that state.
         2.  A tribunal of this state having continuing, exclusive
      jurisdiction over a support order may act as a responding tribunal to
      enforce or modify the order.  If a party subject to the continuing,
      exclusive jurisdiction of the tribunal no longer resides in the
      issuing state, in subsequent proceedings the tribunal may apply
      section 252K.316 to receive evidence from another state and section
      252K.318 to obtain discovery through a tribunal of another state.
         3.  A tribunal of this state which lacks continuing, exclusive
      jurisdiction over a spousal support order may not serve as a
      responding tribunal to modify a spousal support order of another
      state.
