Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 205.
Continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify child-support
order.
(a) A tribunal of this State that has issued a child-support order
consistent with the law
of this State has and shall exercise continuing, exclusive jurisdiction
to modify its child-support
order if the order is the controlling order and:
(1) at the time of the filing of a request for |
| modification this State is the residence of the obligor, the individual obligee, or the child for whose benefit the support order is issued; or
|
|
(2) even if this State is not the residence of the
|
| obligor, the individual obligee, or the child for whose benefit the support order is issued, the parties consent in a record or in open court that the tribunal of this State may continue to exercise jurisdiction to modify its order.
|
|
(b) A tribunal of this State that has issued a child-support
order consistent
with the law of this State may not exercise continuing exclusive
jurisdiction to
modify the order if:
(1) all of the parties who are individuals file
|
| consent in a record with the tribunal of this State that a tribunal of another state that has jurisdiction over at least one of the parties who is an individual or that is located in the state of residence of the child may modify the order and assume continuing, exclusive jurisdiction; or
|
|
(2) its order is not the controlling order.
(c) If a tribunal of another state has issued a
child-support
order pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act or a law
substantially similar to that Act which modifies a child-support
order of a tribunal of this State, tribunals of this State shall recognize the
continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of the tribunal of the other state.
(d) A tribunal of this State that lacks continuing, exclusive jurisdiction
to modify a child-support order may serve as an initiating tribunal to request
a tribunal of another state to modify a support order issued in that state.
(e) A temporary support order issued ex parte or pending resolution
of a jurisdictional conflict does not create continuing, exclusive jurisdiction
in the issuing tribunal.
