Section 6-614 Modified child support orders; filing certified copies with tribunals - Massachusetts Statutes

Section 6-614.

A party who obtains the order and fails to file a certified copy shall be subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises. The failure to file shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the modified order of the new tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.
