NEW YORK DID NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE FLORIDA CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, EVEN THOUGH FATHER’S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION HAD TERMINATED BY THE TERMS OF THE ORDER (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined Florida, which issued the child support order and where father resides, continued to have jurisdiction over the child support order, even though the child support obligation had terminated. Therefore the New York child support order was not a “de novo” order. Rather, it was a modification of the Florida order over which New York did not have jurisdiction:

After relocating to New York, the daughter applied for and began receiving public assistance in Nassau County. In July 2019, the Nassau County Department of Social Services (hereinafter DSS) filed the instant petition for support on behalf of the daughter. At a hearing on the petition before a support magistrate, the father moved to dismiss the petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (hereinafter UIFSA), arguing that Florida retained exclusive jurisdiction over his child support obligation to the daughter, and that under Florida law, his obligation to support the daughter ceased when she turned 18. The Support Magistrate denied the motion, finding that the subject application was not seeking to modify the father’s existing child support obligation in Florida, but, instead, was a de novo application for support. …

“Under the [Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act] and UIFSA, the state issuing a child support order retains continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over its child support orders so long as an individual contestant continues to reside in the issuing state” ( … cf. Family Ct Act § 580-205). “Accordingly, a state may modify the issuing state’s order of child support only when the issuing state has lost continuing, exclusive jurisdiction” … . …

Since the father still resides in Florida, that state has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of the child support order, despite the termination of his obligations under that order, and New York does not have subject matter jurisdiction to modify that order … . Matter of Nassau County Dept. of Social Servs. v Ablog, 2021 NY Slip Op 03035, Second Dept 5-12-21
