Statute 60-1611: Effect of a decree in another
state.
A judgment or decree of divorce rendered in any other
state or territory of the United States, in conformity with the laws thereof,
shall be given full faith and credit in this state, except that, if the
respondent in the action, at the time of the judgment or decree, was a resident
of this state and did not personally appear or defend the action in the court
of that state or territory and that court did not have jurisdiction over the
respondent's person, all matters relating to maintenance, property rights of
the parties and support of the minor children of the parties shall be subject
to inquiry and determination in any proper action or proceeding brought in the
courts of this state within two years after the date of the foreign judgment or
decree, to the same extent as though the foreign judgment or decree had not
been rendered. Nothing in this section shall authorize a court of this state to
enter a child custody
determination, as defined in
K.S.A. 38-1337 and amendments thereto contrary to
the provisions of the uniform child custody jurisdiction and enforcement
act.
