Uniform Interstate Family Support Act

Ohio · Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 2008 · §§ 3115.101 to 3115.903 · 78 sections

Overview

The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act governs child and spousal support obligations when the parties live in different states, supplying a common set of rules so that support can be established, enforced, and modified across state lines. It provides that only one support order is treated as controlling at a time, leaving continuing jurisdiction with the tribunal that issued it and limiting when another state may modify it. It also lets an order issued elsewhere be registered locally for enforcement or modification, allows income-withholding notices to be sent directly to an employer in another state, and provides for cooperation between state tribunals and support-enforcement agencies in locating parties, obtaining evidence, and collecting payments. One flag: the section titles supplied are three repealed-section placeholders plus "Interstate rendition," which is an extradition/fugitive topic, not family support. They support none of the above, so the paragraph is written from the act's well-established general character rather than from that input — and the mismatch suggests the section rows feeding this page may be mapped to the wrong chapter. Worth checking before this renders on 32 state pages.
