Intermediate Court of Appeals

Family Law

NB v. GA, No. CAAP-13-0000171; CAAP-13-0001118; May 23, 2014, (Reifurth, J.). Father challenged the family court's conclusion that his motion for sole custody was a simultaneous proceeding because Hawaii had exclusive jurisdiction over the child custody determination and that Mother's subsequent relocation to Florida with daughter did not affect the jurisdiction of the family court. The ICA agreed with Father, concluding that the state that had properly made an initial "child-custody determination" continued to have exclusive, original jurisdiction over that determination.
