The initial court's rulings take precedence absent extraordinary circumstances.

Not unless the original judgment is made the Judgment of the new state, and the Judge accepts jurisdiction. All parties to the original judgment would have a chance to challenge the new state taking over the judgment and the issues covered therein.
