A Proposal to End Jurisdictional Competition in Parent /Non-Parent Interstate Child Custody Cases	1994	32	.pdf	application/pdf	18806	1112	65	14 This Note focuses on jurisdictional uncertainty in child custody cases, which exists because states follow non-uniform interpretations of the Acts. (c) The general purposes of sections 6 to 10 of this Act ... are to — (1) promote cooperation between State courts to the end that a determination of custody and visitation is rendered in the State which can best decide the case in the interest of the child; (2) promote and expand the exchange of information and other forms of mutual assistance between States which are concerned with the same child; (3) facilitate the enforcement of custody and visitation decrees of sister States; (4) discourage continuing interstate controversies over child custody in the interest of greater stability of home environment and of secure family relationships for the child; (5) avoidjurisdictional competition and conflict between State courts in matters of child custody and visitation which have in the past resulted in the shifting ofchildrenfrom State to State with harmful effects on their well-being; and (6) deter interstate abductions and other unilateral removals of children undertaken to obtain custody and visitation awards.	cache/inlawrev-3112.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3112.txt
