1 31-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)
provides uniform rules for the enforcement of family support orders. In 1996, as a condition
of state eligibility for federal funding of child support enforcement, Congress mandated that
each state enact the UIFSA. In 2008, the Uniform Law Commission amended UIFSA to incorporate

Maintenance into state law. The Convention contains provisions that establish uniform procedures
for the processing of international child support cases. In 2014, Congress enacted the Preventing
Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act. That act required each state to expeditiously
enact the 2008 amendments to the UIFSA during its 2015 legislative session as a condition
for continued receipt of federal funds supporting state child...
