In applying and construing this subchapter, consideration must be given to the need to promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among states that enact the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, as amended in 2008.
This subchapter applies to proceedings begun on or after the effective date of this subchapter to establish a support order or determine parentage of a child or to register, recognize, enforce, or modify a prior support order, determination, or agreement, whenever issued or entered.
If any provision of this subchapter or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of this subchapter which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this subchapter are severable.
If a provision of this subchapter is inconsistent with a provision of subchapter I of this chapter, this subchapter controls.
