A more thorough explanation:

UCCJA

UCCJA stands for Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act. It is a law that helps determine which state has the authority to make decisions about child custody when parents live in different states.

For example, if a couple gets divorced and one parent moves to a different state with their child, the UCCJA helps decide which state has the power to make decisions about the child's custody. This is important because it prevents parents from taking their child to a different state just to get a more favorable custody ruling.

Another example is if a parent wants to modify an existing custody order, they must do so in the state where the original order was issued. The UCCJA helps ensure that the state with the most significant connection to the child is the one making decisions about their custody.

The UCCJA is a law that helps determine which state has the authority to make decisions about child custody. It prevents parents from taking advantage of different state laws to get a more favorable custody ruling. The examples illustrate how the UCCJA works in practice, showing how it helps determine which state has the power to make decisions about a child's custody and prevents parents from forum shopping to get a better outcome.
