JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, annotations decided under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, former Code 1933, §§ 74-501 through 74-525, subsequently codified as §§ 19-9-40 through19-9-64, are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Inquiry into jurisdiction.

- Because the parties' Texas divorce action had been abated due to an earlier Mexican divorce, there was no action pending in Texas; therefore, the trial court did not have to inquire into the court's jurisdiction under the former Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-9-40 et seq. Baca v. Baca, 256 Ga. App. 514, 568 S.E.2d 746 (2002) (decided under former Code Section19-9-40 et seq.)
