Double Child Support Orders

Summary

Child support laws vary by state. If two states have jurisdiction, both may issue support orders. The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) prevents double payment. If both orders are active, contact child support agencies in both states, explain the situation, and request the termination of one order. Legal advice might be necessary.
