Description
1 The two issues presented are: 1) whether an Oklahoma court, having rendered the original divorce decree, has jurisdiction to modify custody if the non-custodial parent resides in Oklahoma, but Oklahoma is not the childs "home state" within the meaning of 10 O.S. 1981 ? 1604 ; and 2) if the trial court was correct in hearing the cause, should it have refused to exercise jurisdiction because Oklahoma is an inconvenient forum. We find that: 1) an Oklahoma court which renders a divorce decree retains continuing jurisdiction to modify custody pursuant to 10 O.S. 1981 ? 1616 if significant parental contact is maintained, and if one parent resides in Oklahoma; and 2) the trial court was correct in exercising jurisdiction because the children have a close connection with Oklahoma, and because substantial evidence needed to determine the custody issue is located within the state. Oklahoma is not an inconvenient forum.
