(c)     If a child support order of this State is modified by a tribunal of another state
pursuant to THIS SUBTITLE OR a law substantially similar to this subtitle, a tribunal of
this State loses its continuing, exclusive jurisdiction with regard to' prospective
enforcement of the order issued in this State, and may only:

(1)     enforce the order that was modified as to amounts accruing before the
modification;

(2)     enforce nonmodifiable aspects of that order; and

(3)     provide other appropriate relief for violations of that order which
occurred before the effective date of the modification.

(d)     A tribunal of this State shall recognize the continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of
a tribunal of another state which has issued a child support order pursuant to THIS
SUBTITLE OR a law substantially similar to this subtitle.

(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.

(f)     A tribunal of this State issuing a support order consistent with the law of this
State has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over a spousal support order throughout the
existence of the support obligation. A tribunal of this State may not modify a spousal
support order issued by a tribunal of another state having continuing, exclusive
jurisdiction over that order under the law of that state.

order may act as a responding tribunal to enforce or modify the order. If a party subject
to the continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of the tribunal no longer resides in the issuing
state, in subsequent proceedings the tribunal may apply [§ 10-325] § 10-328 OF THIS
SUBTITLE (SPECIAL RULES OF EVIDENCE AND PROCEDURE) TO RECEIVE EVIDENCE
FROM ANOTHER STATE AND § 10-330 of this subtitle (Assistance with discovery) to
obtain discovery through a tribunal of another state.

spousal support order may not serve as a responding tribunal to modify a spousal support
