Uniformed Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)

The Uniformed Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) is a law that makes it easier for states to work together to enforce child support orders across state lines. It ensures that a parent owes child support regardless of where they or the child live in the U.S. By establishing clear rules for how support orders are recognized, enforced, and modified across states, UIFSA helps protect the child's financial needs and reduces legal confusion or delays in child support cases involving multiple jurisdictions.
