S. Frederick P. v. Barbara P

In S. Frederick P. v. Barbara P., 115 Misc.2d 332 (Fam.Ct., Queens Cnty. 1982) the mother had removed her children to New York State while there was a custody order in place from a Texas Court. Although the case was decided under the former Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, precursor to the UCCJEA, the relevant legal issues were the same. The Court in that case based its decision that it did not have jurisdiction on the fact that the father continued to reside in Texas.
