Federal Family Support Act - Permits the registration of a support order by the obligee of that support order in the State or district in which the obligor of the order resides, in those cases where such State or District is outside the State in which the support order was made. Provides for contempt proceedings against an obligor failing to comply with the support order so registered. Provides that such procedings shall not be subject to any limitation with respect to amount in controversy.
