Matter of Jackson v. King

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 14, 1992
185 A.D.2d 668 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

July 14, 1992

Appeal from the Erie County Family Court, Honan, J.

Present — Denman, P.J., Pine, Balio, Lawton and Doerr, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Family Court was correct in holding that Domestic Relations Law § 75-n and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act require that full faith and credit be accorded the Texas judgment awarding custody of the child to petitioner. Because no jurisdictional issue has been raised concerning the validity of the Texas judgment, and because petitioner still resides in Texas, we are without jurisdiction to modify that custody determination (see, 28 U.S.C. § 1738A; Capobianco v. Willis, 171 A.D.2d 834, 835).
