Requires a State to have in effect specified statutory procedures. Mandates that State absent parent locator programs include response deadlines for information requests from other States. Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations establishing standards and procedures governing the processing by States of cases involving the enforcement of child support obligations against parents in other States, including a deadline by which prosecutions must commence. Increases the amount the Secretary shall pay quarterly to each State for the operation of a State plan for child and spousal support. Repeals the mandate for Federal incentive payments to the States for cost-effective enforcement of child support payments.

Includes among priority claims and expenses those for certain child and spousal support and maintenance. Precludes a trustee in bankruptcy from avoiding a transfer if it was a bona fide payment of a debt for child or spousal support, maintenance, or alimony. Amends the guidelines for what constitutes the property of the bankrupt estate of either a family farmer or an individual with regular annual income. Declares, for such debtors, that the court shall confirm a bankruptcy plan if the debtor has paid all allowable claims arising after the order for relief for debts for child and spousal support, maintenance, or alimony. Permits representatives of child support creditors to appear in court without charge and without meeting any special local court rule requirement for attorney appearances in any judicial bankruptcy proceeding if such representatives file information detailing the child support debt, status, and other characteristics.
