Law enacted by all States that provides mechanisms for establishing and enforcing child support obligations in interstate cases (when a noncustodial parent lives in a different State from his/her child and the custodial party). Among the law’s provisions is the ability of State IV-D agencies to send withholding orders to employers across State lines. (UIFSA does not apply to Tribes.) (See also: Continuing Exclusive Jurisdiction; Two-State Action; Long Arm Jurisdiction: Direct Income Withholding)

Question: LAWYERS ONLY is the UIFSA ACT applicable throughout USA? UIFSA stands for Uniform Interstate Family Support Act...
Need information on child support..
Pls give links with the provisions of the law and the act itself if possible
Answer: Under both the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 1992 (UIFSA of 1992) and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 1996 (UIFSA of 1996), a support order or income-withholding order issued by a tribunal of another state may be registered in a state for enforcement. On receipt of a request for registration, the registering tribunal must cause the order to be filed as a foreign judgment, together with one copy of the documents and information, regardless of their form. The federal Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act (FFCCSOA) mandates that the appropriate authorities of each state enforce the child support orders of other states, in accordance with their terms, without making any modifications of such orders except as allowed by the FFCCSOA. Under the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, the provisions of FFCCSOA are binding on all states and supersede any inconsistent provisions of uniform laws. 23 Am. Jur.2d § 80.

Question: Do you think this is fair yes or no? Kansas Court of Appeals says father can't challenge paternity order
By Tooher, Nora

Date: Friday, October 30 2009
Failure to attend a hearing precluded a father from challenging
Kansas 's recognition under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of a German paternity judgment and child support order, the Kansas Court of Appeals has ruled.
The mother, a resident of Germany , obtained a default paternity judgment and child support award against the father, a resident of Kansas .
The father contended that he had no knowledge of the German lawsuit.
German authorities, acting on the mother's behalf, sent the German judgment to Kansas for registration under the UIFSA. The father was served with notice that the German judgment had been registered in Kansas and that its registration would be confirmed unless he contested it.
He requested a hearing, but failed to attend it, resulting in the confirmation of the order's registration.
He argued that the district court should have allowed him to contest the German court's personal jurisdiction over him in Kansas .
But the court held that the father lost his rights by default when he failed to attend the hearing.
"Although [the father] asked for a hearing at which he could contest the validity of the order, he didn't attend that hearing. Thus, he certainly didn't establish a defense against its validity. Nor did he even assert the defense that the German court lacked jurisdiction, something he could have done by simply checking a box on the form sent to him with the registration ...
"Once an order's registration is confirmed, [the statute] 'precludes further contest of the order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted at the time of registration.' ... UIFSA clearly provides that [the father] may not longer raise that defense here in Kansas ," the court said.
