jurisdiction to do so under Article 2; or

accordance with the standards of KRS 403.812, in the proceedings

before the court that issued the order for which enforcement is sought; or

registered and confirmed under KRS 403.850 but has been vacated, stayed, or

modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction to do so under Article 2.

(2)The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized under KRS 403.864

and may grant additional relief, including a request for the assistance of law
