2. A tribunal of this State that has issued a child-support order consistent with the law of this State may not exercise continuing and exclusive jurisdiction to modify its child-support order if:
(a) All of the parties who are natural persons file consent in a record with the tribunal of this State that a tribunal of another state that has jurisdiction over at least one of the parties who is a natural person or that is located in the state of residence of the child may modify the order and assume continuing and exclusive jurisdiction; or
(b) Its order is not the controlling order.
