[4] Conflict of Laws - Divorce - Child Support - Modification - Choice of Law - Factors. In determining what law applies in a proceeding to modify child support for a child who
has moved to a different state, a court should consider: (1) the needs of the interstate systems; (2) the relevant policies of Washington; (3) the relevant policies of other interested states and the relative interests of those states in the determination of the modification issue; (4) the protection of justified expectations; (5) the basic policies underlying child support law; (6) certainty, predictability, and uniformity of result; and (7) ease in the determination and application of the law to be applied.
