19-11-115. Initiating tribunal; responding tribunal


(a) A tribunal in Georgia may serve as an initiating tribunal to request a tribunal of another state to enforce or modify a support order issued in that state.

(b) A tribunal in Georgia 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 Code Section 19-11-135 to receive evidence from another state and Code Section 19-11-137 to obtain discovery through a tribunal of another state.

(c) A tribunal in Georgia 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.
