In this thread in this post Rysdad laid out the following scenario.
I’m a layman just like Rysdad so I’m wondering if this is legally possible? If the mother is still in the state where the order was made can the husband get it unilaterally modified by another state? Is this really possible?

This is just mentioned for the hell of it, and I don’t even know if it would work anymore…
A girl I dated for quite some time had a child by her ex-husband here in Minnesota. They divorced. Child Support was ordered. (All this happened before I met her.) The amount was excessive in my view, but I was an “outsider”, so I had no voice in the matter.
Anyway, her ex- got transferred to North Carolina (he was active duty Marine Corps). He took the Minnesota CS court order to a local court, and the court in North Carolina cut the amount in half even though his income stayed exactly the same.
I thought the various States were more or less bound to honor other States’ laws, but evidently not.
I wonder if that would work today? 'Course, visitation (I loathe that word) would be problematic
