Guam § 35711 - Modification of Convention Child-Support Order.

§ 35711. 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, § 35708(c)

applies.
