UCCJEA:
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act
Initial Child Custody / Visitation Determinations
The UCCJEA provides standards that all states use to ensure that courts have "original jurisdiction" over the children before making the initial child custody/visitation determination
Modifications of Child / Visitation Determinations
when one or both of the parents have moved out of the original jurisdiction state
- The UCCJEA makes the state where the initial custody/visitation order is entered the "home state" and grants it "continuing jurisdiction" for as long as the necessary conditions are met.
- The UCCJEA also allows people who have moved to other states to "register" the out of state determination in the new state as long as certain conditions are met.
Modifications of Child / Visitation Determinations
on an expedited or emergency basis
- The UCCJEA contains information about the requirements for disclosing information about the child's whereabouts and prior custody proceedings, the court's authority to order parties to appear in person with the child, the process for enforcing child custody determinations from other states, and the process for expedited enforcement.
- It outlines the circumstances in which a state can assume temporary emergency jurisdiction and makes it possible to request an "extraordinary remedy" in the form of a warrant to take physical possession of a child in limited emergency situations.
