The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) establishes a comprehensive framework for the establishment, enforcement, and modification of child and spousal support orders across state lines. Originally promulgated in 1992 and amended in 2001, UIFSA aims to streamline interstate support proceedings by eliminating multiple orders and ensuring that only one valid support order exists at any time. The Act emphasizes the importance of continuing, exclusive jurisdiction by the issuing tribunal and provides specific procedures for registration, enforcement, and modification of support orders. It also includes provisions for long-arm jurisdiction over nonresidents, direct income withholding from employers, and recognition of foreign support orders. Overall, UIFSA promotes uniformity in family support laws among states while facilitating efficient resolution of interstate support issues.
