Opinion of the Court
Mother appeals from a judgment that dismissed her motion to modify the support provisions of the parties’ 1982 Colorado dissolution judgment for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Even if the judgment was not properly registered under ORS 24.115
Reversed and remanded. Costs to mother.
We do not decide whether the trial court had personal jurisdiction over father, because that issue was not litigated in the trial court.
ORS 24.115 was amended after Burback was decided. However, the pertinent statutory language was not changed. See Or Laws 1987, ch 586, § 14. The statute now provides, in part:
“(3) A [foreign] judgment so filed has the same effect and is subject to the same procedures, defenses and proceedings for reopening, vacating or staying as a judgment of a court of any county of this state and may be enforced or satisfied in like manner.”
