Yes, the UCCJEA is very complicated and there can be innumerable reasons a presiding judge will take aforementioned action. The interpretation of the legal issues covered are always subject to appeal by all involved parties and can be overturned by the judge as unjustifiable as well.

Will Maryland extradite back to Indiana for child custody?
Not necessarily, but be advised that there is an interstate compact in effect among all states that they will each enforce the findings of the others child custody orders. Maryland may assist in the return of the child if the Indiana parent has legal custody under the provisions of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. The Act was drafted in 1997 and has been adopted by 49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the US Virgin Islands. Massachusetts has not adopted it as of July, 2011. It was enacted in order to bring the Uniform Child Custody Act into Compliance with the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act and other federal statutes such as the Violence Against Women Act. Any court that has issued a child custody order consistent with the Act has continuing jurisdiction over the case until there is evidence there is no longer a custodial parent in the state. In other words, if the custodial parent continues to reside in the state that issued the custody order, that state retains jurisdiction over the child. This example is a simplification of the provisions in the Act. There are many sections and you can read more at the related link.

Can you move to Alaska with 3 kids then file for divorce from husband in Oregon?
It depends on how long you were there and where husband is. There is a Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act that all states have adopted and the state where the child is for six months will usually have jurisdiction over the custody. However, you can't just take the kids and hide them for six months for this to work. Also, the parents can agree on a parenting plan in either state. With regard to the divorce, the state where the couple lives will usually have jurisdiction. You cannot file for divorce in a state that neither husband nor wife reside in. However, if you were both in Oregon and then you left Oregon and moved to Alaska and husband still lives in Oregon, yes, Oregon would be the most appropriate place to get divorced.
Can a Wyoming family court enforce a Wisconsin child custody order?
If you have removed a child from the state where custody and visitation orders were issued then you should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in custody issues. In most circumstances Wyoming would be required to honor a Wisconsin custody order. You could find yourself in trouble if you removed a child from a state where the other parent has rights and court orders are in existence.The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act was enacted in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. In 1980 the federal government enacted the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act, to address interstate custody problems that continued to exist after the adoption of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act. The Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act mandates that state authorities give full faith and credit to other States' custody determinations, so long as those determinations were made in conformity with the provisions of the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act.These acts are interpreted differently in different states but were intended to avoid conflicting child custody orders.
Is it possible for an ex wife to ask the court to remove a court case from the state where the father oh her child lives?
This is a complicated question. A parent can ask a court to enforce a court order issued in another state even if the father and/or child live in another state. This process is generally referred to as registering a foreign decree. However, if the ex-wife wants to modify an order that was issued in another state and the father still lives in that state, then most probably not unless that state (where the father lives) declines to exercise jurisdiction. If this is about a custody issue, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act will dictate the answer and if it is in reference to child support then, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act will dictate the answer to your question.
