The opinion

BARTEAU, Judge,

concurring in result.

While I still believe, as I expressed in Burke v. Burke (1993), Ind.App., 617 N.E.2d 959 , that the intent in enacting the registration provision was to provide an additional remedy, and that modification by the registering court was contemplated, the majority of courts addressing this issue have held to the contrary and I will yield to their wisdom.

STATON, J., concurs.
