The course will also explore issues of interstate recognition and enforcement of judicial decrees under the both the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes and uniform statutes recently adopted by all 50 states. Finally the course will examine the process by which clients can seek and enforce modifications of prior judicial decrees concerning spousal and child support or child custody and visitation across state lines.
