Koerner v. Koerner, vacating order modifying Georgia child support order, as Ky lacked jurisdiction under UIFSA. “We now join those states that have concluded that under the UIFSA, the issuing state has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over its child support order if the obligor or the obligee continues to reside in that state….We are cognizant that our decision results in bifurcated jurisdiction between Kentucky, which has jurisdiction over custody and visitation matters, and Georgia, which has jurisdiction over child support modification….Although arguably not a desired result, one state may retain jurisdiction to modify child support while another obtains subject matter jurisdiction over child custody and visitation.”
