Q. Why can’t
Merced County enforce my child support order?
A: When an absent
parent is located in another state, under the Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act (UIFSA), we attempt to enforce using
our enforcement tools, when all methods have been exhausted
we then request the assistance from the other state. Federal
Law (UIFSA) gives provisions for the other state to enforce
the order as if it was theirs.
