Summary

Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act - Amends the Federal judicial code to require the appropriate authorities of each State to enforce according to its terms a child support order made by a court of another State, provided that the court has subject matter jurisdiction to hear the matter and enter such an order and has personal jurisdiction over the contestants and that the contestants are given reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard. Prohibits such authorities from seeking or making a modification of such an order unless the authority has jurisdiction to make such a child support order and: (1) the court of the State no longer has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of the order because that State no longer is the child's State or the residence of any contestant; or (2) each contestant has filed written consent to that authority making the modification and assuming continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the order. Permits a State court thaht no longer has continuing jurisdiction over such orders to enforce prior orders with respect to unsatisfied obligations.
