Uniform Interstate Family Support Act

The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) is a law that helps ensure consistent and fair child support and spousal support payments across state lines in the United States. It allows a parent or spouse to establish, modify, or enforce support orders even if they or the receiving party move to different states. UIFSA simplifies legal processes, promotes cooperation between states, and aims to prevent jurisdictional disputes, ensuring that support obligations are met regardless of where the individuals live. This helps protect the financial well-being of children and dependent spouses.
