Sec. 711. 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, Section 708(c) applies.
