Notice to issuing tribunal of modification
When a child support order gets changed, the person who got it changed has 30 days to send a certified copy of the new order to the court that made the old order, and to any other court where the old order was on file. If that person does not do this, a court can punish them for it. However, not filing the copy does not make the new order invalid — it still counts and can still be enforced.
