Court of Appeals of New York

When a Connecticut child support order has expired because the child has reached 18 (the age of majority under Connecticut law), a subsequent New York child support order for support of the same child to age 21 (the age of majority under New York law) is a modification of the Connecticut order and that New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the petition for child support in this case.
