518D.203 JURISDICTION TO MODIFY DETERMINATION.
Except as otherwise provided in section 518D.204, a court of this state may not modify a child
custody determination made by a court of another state unless a court of this state has jurisdiction
to make an initial determination under section 518D.201, paragraph (a), clause (1) or (2), and:
(1) the court of the other state determines it no longer has exclusive, continuing jurisdiction
under section 518D.202 or that a court of this state would be a more convenient forum under
section 518D.207; or
(2) a court of this state or a court of the other state determines that the child, the child's
parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state.
