1Opinion of the Court
Hunstein, Justice.
We granted Anna Early’s application for discretionary appeal to consider whether the trial court erred by entering an order declining to exercise jurisdiction over Robert Early’s petition for modification of child support, in light of the provisions of the Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act (FFCCSOA), 28 USC § 1738B. Because we conclude that the FFCCSOA does not grant a court of the state that issued a child support order the discretion to decline to exercise jurisdiction over a child support modification action, we reverse.
The parties to this appeal were…
