UIFSA stands for the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act which replaces the Uniform Child Support Enforcement Act or URESA which federal law requires all states to enact to collect child support throughout the country. The primary effect of UIFSA is to enable a child support order from one state to be enforced in another state. There are particular requirements which must be followed in order to enforce such an order and the Law Offices of John R. Reeves, PC, is thoroughly familiar with those requirements. We can assist you in enforcing an order from another state in Mississippi or a Mississippi order in another state. Or, we can assist you in defending you if you are faced with a UIFSA action.
