Interstate Court Order Enforcement

What is the name of your state? MN

My husband is the cp in this case. Recently, the Child Support Order and Custody/Visitation order have been registered in AZ for enforcement. Does that mean that the ncp can modify orders in AZ or would she have to do it in MN courts?

The case stays in Minnesota.

If the case was successfully transferred to Arizona, any future modifications would go thru AZ. This is what registering/transferring a case to another state means......the new state takes over jurisdiction.

That is not correct. Registering it simply means sqwat really. It means they can enforce the existing orders. They new state does not automatically take over jurisdiction just because it was registered there.

You can register a support order in any state you choose, it doesn't mean jurisdiction changes. Thats a whole other issue.

I said that if the case was "successfully transferred" to the new state, then they have assumed jurisdiction. Registering with a new state means nothing until is is officially "accepted". And just registering with a new state does NOT mean they can enforce existing orders.....they don't have jurisdiction to do anything until the case has been officially and legally transferred on their books and notice sent to the old state. What part of this were you so confused about?
