§ 601-207. Determination of controlling order
B. If a proceeding is brought pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, and two or more child support orders have been issued by tribunals of this state or another state or a foreign country with regard to the same obligor and same child, a tribunal of this state having personal jurisdiction over both the obligor and individual obligee shall apply the following rules and by order shall determine which order controls and must be recognized:
2. If more than one of the tribunals would have continuing, exclusive jurisdiction under this act:1
C. If two or more child support orders have been issued for the same obligor and same child, upon request of a party who is an individual or that is a support enforcement agency, a tribunal of this state having personal jurisdiction over both the obligor and the obligee who is an individual shall determine which order controls under subsection B of this section. The request may be filed with a registration for enforcement or registration for modification pursuant to Article 6 of this title, or may be filed as a separate proceeding.
G. Within thirty (30) days after issuance of an order determining which is the controlling order, the party obtaining the order shall file a certified copy of it in each tribunal that issued or registered an earlier order of child support. A party or support enforcement agency obtaining the order that fails to file a certified copy is subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises. The failure to file does not affect the validity or enforceability of the controlling order.
