CHAPTER 6. UNIFORM INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT ACT


Subchapter VIII. Interstate Rendition


§ 6-801. Grounds for rendition.


(a) For purposes of this chapter, "Governor" includes an individual performing the functions of governor or the executive
authority of a state covered by this chapter.


(b) The Governor of this State may:


(1) Demand that the governor of another state surrender an individual found in the other state who is charged criminally in
this State with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee; or


(2) On the demand of the governor of another state, surrender an individual found in this State who is charged criminally
in the other state with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee.


(c) A provision for extradition of individuals not inconsistent with this chapter applies to the demand even if the individual
whose surrender is demanded was not in the demanding state when the crime was allegedly committed and has not fled therefrom.


69 Del. Laws, c. 238, § 1; 75 Del. Laws, c. 64, § 1.;


§ 6-802. Conditions of rendition.


(a) Before making a demand that the governor of another state surrender an individual charged criminally in this State with
having failed to provide for the support of an obligee, the Governor of this State may require a prosecutor of this State
to demonstrate that at least 60 days previously the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this chapter
or that the proceeding would be of no avail.


(b) If, under this chapter or a law substantially similar to this chapter, the governor of another state makes a demand that
the Governor of this State surrender an individual charged criminally in that state with having failed to provide for the
support of a child or other individual to whom a duty of support is owed, the Governor may require a prosecutor to investigate
the demand and report whether a proceeding for support has been initiated or would be effective. If it appears that a proceeding
would be effective but has not been initiated, the Governor may delay honoring the demand for a reasonable time to permit
the initiation of a proceeding.


(c) If a proceeding for support has been initiated and the individual whose rendition is demanded prevails, the Governor may
decline to honor the demand. If the petitioner prevails and the individual whose rendition is demanded is subject to a support
order, the Governor may decline to honor the demand if the individual is complying with the support order.
