Uniform Act

The Uniform Act is a set of standardized laws created to help legal professionals and courts efficiently handle cases involving interstate child support enforcement. It streamlines the process of locating noncustodial parents, establishing paternity, and ensuring child support payments are made across state lines. By adopting these uniform laws, states can work together more effectively, reduce delays, and ensure children receive consistent support regardless of where the parent lives within the country. Essentially, it creates a consistent legal framework to make child support enforcement fair and efficient across different states.
