  with one copy of the documents and information, regardless of their form. (c) A petition or comparable pleading seeking a remedy that must be affirmatively sought
  under other law of this State may be filed at the same time as the request for registration
  or later. The pleading must specify the grounds for the remedy sought. (d) If two or more orders are in effect, the person requesting registration shall: (1) furnish to the tribunal a copy of every support order asserted to be in effect in
  addition to the documents specified in this section; (2) specify the order alleged to be the controlling order, if any; and (3) specify the amount of consolidated arrears, if any. (e) A request for determination of which is the controlling order may be filed separately
  or with a request for registration and enforcement or for registration and modification.
  The person requesting registration shall give notice of the request to each party
  whose rights may be affected by the determination. (Added 2015, No. 16, § 2, eff. June 1, 2015.)
