The final version of this page is at https://atharkhan.com/difference-between-uccjea-and-uifsa/ ## Working notes Start by identifying the requested relief. [[Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA)|UCCJEA]] governs custody jurisdiction and enforcement; [[Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)|UIFSA]] concerns support across jurisdictions. [[Cal. Fam. Code § 3421]] addresses initial custody jurisdiction and [[Cal. Fam. Code § 3424]] temporary emergency jurisdiction. Moving or registering an order elsewhere does not automatically transfer modification authority. Check existing orders and each person’s residence before drawing a conclusion.
