W. Brockelbank, Interstate Enforcement of Family Support 80 (2d ed. 1971) (emphasis added) (footnotes omitted). Implicit in the emphasized portion is the view that, in a standard URESA action, a responding state is not bound to conform its order to a foreign order. The foreign order may, however, be enforced if it is registered. See Scott v. Sylvester, 220 Va. 182, 185-87, 257 S.E.2d 774, 776-77 (1979). Minn. Stat. § 518C.25, subd. 1 (1982), provides that, once registered, a foreign support order “has the same effect and is subject to the same procedures, defenses, and proceedings for reopening, vacating, or staying as a support order of this state and may be enforced and satisfied in like manner.”
