Cal. Fam. Code § 5700.711 — Support Proceeding Under Convention is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) A tribunal of this state may not modify a Convention child-support order if the obligee remains a resident of the foreign country where the support order was issued unless:
(1) the obligee submits to the jurisdiction of a tribunal of this state, either expressly or by defending on the merits of the case without objecting to the jurisdiction at the first available opportunity; or
