Due Process Rights of Absent Parents in Interstate Custody Conflicts: A Commentary on In re Marriage of Hudson	1983	42	.pdf	application/pdf	21222	994	59	The Act assures that a competent forum will always be available to decide child custody and that other states will enforce the decision, but the UCCJA does not require in personam jurisdiction over an absent parent or minimum contacts between the absent parent and the forum.2 Recent United States Supreme Court cases dealing with the due process rights of nonresident defendants3 raise anew the question whether the UCCJA has struck the proper balance between the rights of parents and the welfare of their children. 17 There is little doubt that this status exception will support the continued validity of ex parte divorces, 18 but different considerations apply to child custody.	cache/inlawrev-2537.pdf	txt/inlawrev-2537.txt
