                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

NOTICE TO ISSUING TRIBUNAL OF MODIFICATION (§ 20-88.77:2)

Within thirty days after issuance of a modified child support order, the party
obtaining the modification shall file a certified copy of the order with the
issuing tribunal that had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier
order, and in each tribunal in which the party knows the earlier order has been
registered. A party who obtains the order and fails to file a certified copy is
subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to
file arises. The failure does not affect the validity or enforceability of the
modified order of the new tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
