Sec. 19a.
A responding court shall not stay the proceeding or refuse a hearing under this act because of any pending or prior action or proceeding for divorce, separation, annulment, dissolution, habeas corpus, adoption, or custody in this or any other state. The court shall hold a hearing and may issue a support order pendente lite and it may require the obligor to give a bond for the prompt prosecution of the pending proceeding. If the other pending action or proceeding is concluded before the hearing in the instant proceeding and the judgment in the other action or proceeding provides for the support demanded in the petition being heard, the court must conform its support order to the amount allowed in the other action or proceeding and shall not stay enforcement of its support order because of the retention of jurisdiction for enforcement purposes by the court in the other action or proceeding.
