SB 510 Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act; changes in provisions.

Introduced by: William C. Mims (by request) | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. Makes several modifications to the continuing jurisdiction provisions of the Act. The changes provide that the state with initial jurisdiction does not lose jurisdiction until both parents move out of that state. The current provision says until the "child's parents" move out of the state and it is unclear what happens if one parent moves to another state. The Act is a uniform act proposed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and was enacted in 2001 to replace the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, which Virginia enacted in 1979.
