Can child support be obtained when the supporting parent and the child are in different states?
Yes. At present, Illinois recognizes two statutes for interstate enforcement of support: the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA) and The new Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). There are quite a few differences between the two statutes, and it takes a technical understanding to choose which to use. UIFSA permits enforcement of maintenance (spousal support) orders, as well as child support, and will probably eventually supplant URESA altogether.
