STATE EX REL. MORENZ v. KERR

No. 2004-1760.

104 Ohio St.3d 148 (2004)

2004-Ohio-6208

The STATE ex rel. MORENZ v. KERR, Judge, et al.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided November 22, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rapoport, Spitz, Friedland & Courtney and Alan J. Rapoport, Cleveland, for relator.

Casimir T. Adulewicz, pro se.

Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} In this case, we hold that an Ohio court patently and unambiguously lacks jurisdiction to proceed in a child-custody case commenced when a child-custody case is already pending in a court of another state and that court is exercising jurisdiction consistently with the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act ("PKPA"), Section 1738A, Title 28, U.S.Code, and the state's version of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act ("UCCJA").
