§ 580-702 Applicability

Here's a plain English summary:

This section explains when special rules apply to certain child support and spousal support cases. These rules only come into play when a case involves the Convention, which is an international treaty dealing with support orders across different countries.

If your case falls under this treaty, these particular rules take priority. That means if there's ever a conflict between these treaty-related rules and the other general rules found earlier in this same law, the treaty-related rules win out and are the ones that get followed.

In simple terms, this section is a tie breaker. It tells courts and the people involved in these cases which set of rules to use when there's a disagreement between different parts of the law, specifically for cases connected to this international agreement.
