Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)

The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) is a law designed to simplify the process of establishing and enforcing child support and spousal support across state lines in the United States. It helps ensure that families receive financial support regardless of where the parents live. Under UIFSA, only one state can issue a support order at a time, preventing conflicting orders, and allows states to work together to enforce support payments. This law aims to provide consistency and fairness in family support matters, making it easier for custodial parents to obtain the support they are entitled to.
