Abstract:
The nature of interstate child support cases is complex regarding issues of jurisdiction, choice of laws, remedies, and practical problems deal with processing and communications. Given the increasing complexity and inherent difficulties in such cases, the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA) has been replaced with the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). Also enacted in North Carolina, the law provides for better support and enforcement of provisions across state-lines.
