### sec.176D Recognised interstate order may be enforced
A recognised interstate order that has been properly notified under the law of the State in which it was made—
has the same effect as a local order; and
may be enforced against a respondent as if it were a local order that had been properly notified under this Act.
A recognised interstate order mentioned in subsection (1) includes a recognised interstate order as varied by a variation—
done in a participating jurisdiction by a court under this part or a corresponding law; and
of which the respondent has been properly notified under the law of the State in which the variation was done.
A variation to a local order done in another jurisdiction may be enforced against a respondent as if the respondent had been properly notified of the variation under this Act if—
the variation was done by a court under a corresponding law; and
the respondent was properly notified of the variation under the law of the State in which the variation was done.
A prohibition, restriction or condition imposed by a recognised interstate order—
has the same meaning as it would have in the State in which the order was made; and
may be enforced as if it were a prohibition, restriction or condition of a local order.
