What if the non-custodial parent resides in another state?
In cases where the custodial parent is a resident of North Carolina and the non-custodial parent resides in another state, the custodial parent can begin action for establishment of paternity or of a support order through the local child support Agency. This action is called the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). This procedure is also utilized when the non-custodial parent resides in Cabarrus County and the custodial parent resided in another state and the responding state requests assistance from Cabarrus County. The state requesting the action have little control over the time it takes to process a UIFSA action.
