Parties involved in a family law matter involving minor children must file a Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) Affidavit. The UCCJEA has several purposes which include making uniform laws across states in matters of child custody; avoiding jurisdictional competition and conflict with courts of other states; promoting cooperation with the courts of other states with regard to custody matters; deterring abductions; avoiding the re-litigation of custody decrees of other states; facilitating enforcement of custody decrees of other states; and promoting and expanding the exchange of information and assistance between state courts.
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act is an important aspect of any family law matter that involves minor children.
