Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 02, November 27, 2024

Section 660-3-10-.01 - Purpose Of The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)

UIFSA was created to identify ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of interstate child support enforcement by addressing interstate cases in a uniform manner. The Personal and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193), mandated that all states adopt the 1993 UIFSA Model Act, and the 1996 amendments adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. UIFSA 1996 with amendments became effective January 1, 1998 in this state. Until December 31, 1999, interstate proceedings starting prior to January 1, 1998, were governed by laws in effect prior to January 1, 1998. The Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-183) required each state to enact the 2008 amendments during its 2015 legislative session.
