Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), adopted by Georgia and New Jersey. Citing O.C.G.A. § 19-6-26(c), Judge Mendez observed that Georgia exercised continuing, exclusive jurisdiction "to modify its prior child support orders," so long as any party — in this case defendant — continued to reside in Georgia. Furthermore, the judge found New Jersey was obligated to recognize Georgia's jurisdiction, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:4- 30.72(d).
