4.__Copy of orders required.__A request to determine which is the controlling order must be accompanied by a copy of every child support order in effect and the applicable record of payments. The requesting party shall give notice of the request to each party whose rights may be affected by the determination.

5.__Tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.__The tribunal that issued the controlling order under subsection 1, 2 or 3 has continuing jurisdiction to the extent provided in section 2965 or 2966.

6.__Basis for order. A tribunal of this State that determines by order which is the controlling order under subsection 2, paragraph A or B or subsection 3, or that issues a new controlling order under subsection 2, paragraph C, shall state in that order:

A.__The basis upon which the tribunal made its determination;

B.__The amount of prospective support, if any; and

C.__The total amount of consolidated arrears and accrued interest, if any, under all of the orders after all payments made are credited as provided by section 2969.

7.__Filing certified copy of order.__Within 30 days after issuance of an order determining which order is the controlling order, the party obtaining the order shall file a certified copy of it in each tribunal that issued or registered an earlier order of child support. A party or support enforcement agency obtaining the order that 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 to file does not affect the validity or enforceability of the controlling order.

8.__Controlling order or judgment must be recognized.__An order that has been determined to be the controlling order, or a judgment for consolidated arrears of support and interest, if any, made pursuant to this section must be recognized in proceedings under this chapter.
