Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) Filing a claim under UIFSA usually involves hiring an attorney or working with your local child support office. It enables you to contact relevant people in the other parent's state to enforce your child support order, such as: The state's local courts.
Changes found in the new Guidelines include a more expansive definition and details of what counts as “gross income” and greater guidance on what to consider when calculating imputed income for a parent, meaning income the parent could be expected to earn with reasonable effort.

As such, if parents or guardians involved in a child custody dispute live in different states, the court will generally award one of the parents/guardians sole or primary physical custody of their kids.
Alimony is the legal obligation to support a spouse. Many states refer to this as spousal support or spousal maintenance. Tennessee refers to this legal obligation as alimony.
Alimony is financial support from one spouse to the other after the dissolution of a marriage, so that both spouses may maintain a certain standard of living. Nevada law recognizes several types of alimony, including: Temporary maintenance (aka spousal support), Rehabilitative alimony.
UIFSA prevents two states from issuing competing child support orders and allows an order that has been issued in one state to be enforced by another state. To avoid confusion, UIFSA requires that there is only one order controlling child support at a given time.
Out of the five most expensive states in the US (California, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York), only Hawaii ranks in the top ten states with the highest child support payments, and both Maryland and New Jersey rank in the bottom ten states with the lowest payments.
