Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) and the mandate to use
for IV-D and non IV-D direct withholding cases. The 2-page form
provides a detailed legal description of the established order, support
amounts, and remittance information an employer needs to withhold
payments from an obligor who owes child support.
