Jurisdiction to modify support order of another state when individual parties reside in this state. 769.613(1)(1) If all of the individual parties reside in this state and the child does not reside in the issuing state, a tribunal of this state has jurisdiction to enforce and to modify the issuing state's child support order in a proceeding to register that order.
769.613(2)
(2) A tribunal of this state exercising jurisdiction as provided in
sub. (1) shall apply the provisions of this subchapter and
subchs. I and
II to the enforcement or modification proceeding.
Subchapters III to
V,

VIII do not apply, and the tribunal shall apply the procedural and substantive law of this state.

Notice to issuing tribunal of modification. Within 30 days after issuance of a modified child support order, the party obtaining the modification shall file a certified copy of the modified child support order with the issuing tribunal that had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier child support order, and in each tribunal in which the party knows that the earlier child support order has been registered. Failure of the party obtaining the modified child support order to file a certified copy as required by this section subjects the party to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises, but that failure has no effect on the validity or enforceability of the modified child support order of the new tribunal of continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
