General Testimony (Page 24 of 30) in pdf

Per Month/Week/Etc: the frequency with which the arrears payment must be paid.

Unpaid Interest: the amount of any unpaid interest due, and the date as of which the amount

is correct.

Total Arrears: the total amount of arrears owed under that order, if any. Specify the total

amount for all children (listed in section V) even if the order designates a separate amount for

each child. Enter the date as of which the amount is correct.

The name and address of the tribunal (court or agency) that entered the order.

Remember to attach the required number of copies of all pertinent orders that relate to support. If you

are sending this case to a State that uses the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), you will

generally need to attach two copies, one of which is certified, of any support order. If you are sending

this case to a State that uses a version of the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act

(URESA), you will generally need to attach three certified copies of any support order. Note, however,

that some responding States may be able to take certain administrative enforcement actions (e.g.,

interstate wage withholding) without having a certified copy of the order, although a regular copy is

still necessary.

Item 5: If the obligor owes reimbursement for prenatal, postnatal or general medical expenses paid by

the obligee or State agency, indicate the total amount owed. Enter only the amount which the obligor

has been ordered to pay. Enter the date as of which this amount is correct. Attach documentation.

Item 6: Enter the amount of unpaid costs and fees owed by the obligor. Enter the date as of which

the amount was correct. Describe the costs/fees on the blank line.

Item 7: Check the appropriate box to indicate whether an affidavit from the obligee concerning direct

payments is attached, or whether no direct payments were received by the obligee.

Item 8: Check one of three options for supplying the obligor's support payment history:

Check the first box on the left to indicate that you will be providing a certified copy of your

own court or agency's payment history (manual or computer generated) and skip to Section

VIII on page 7. Provide any additional information (e.g., regarding interest, costs, fees)

necessary to explain the payment history so that it can be correctly interpreted by the

responding jurisdiction.

Check the middle box to indicate that you will be completing the payment history provided on

page 6a of the General Testimony.

Check the last box on the right to indicate that you will not be providing a detailed arrears

statement and skip to Section VIII on page 7. Note, however, to register an order under the

Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), a sworn statement by the party seeking

registration or a certified statement by the custodian of the records showing the amount of

arrears is required.

Fill in the spaces at the bottom of section VII on page 6. Under "From (Year) to (Year)" indicate the

years covered by the obligor's support payment history. Also enter the name of the "Agency which

Prepared Audit/Payment History".

PAGE 6A: Complete this page if you checked the middle box in item 8, section VII, page 6. Enter the

amount of adjudicated arrears in the line at the top of the page; indicate the date of the order that

established the arrears amount. Enter "zero" if there are no adjudicated arrears.
