Colorado Code
Part 2 - Jurisdiction
§ 14-5-211. Continuing, Exclusive Jurisdiction to Modify Spousal-Support Order

Source: L. 2003: Entire section added, p. 1248, § 10, effective July 1, 2004. L. 2015: (b) amended, (HB 15-1198), ch. 173, p. 550, § 13, effective July 1.
The amendment to subsection (b) ensures that the restriction on modification of an out-of-state spousal-support order extends to a foreign order. At the same time, subsection (b) provides that the question of continuing, exclusive jurisdiction be resolved under the law of the issuing tribunal. Thus, if a foreign spousal- support order were subject to modification in another country by the law of the issuing tribunal, this section would permit modification in a tribunal of this state.
