(1)
Except as otherwise provided in ORS 109.751 (Temporary emergency jurisdiction), a court of this state may not exercise its jurisdiction under ORS 109.741 (Initial child custody jurisdiction) to 109.771 (Appearance of parties and child) if, at the time of the commencement of the proceeding, a proceeding concerning the custody of the child has been commenced in a court of another state having jurisdiction substantially in conformity with ORS 109.701 (Short title) to 109.834 (Severability clause), unless the proceeding has been terminated or is stayed by the court of the other state because a court of this state is a more convenient forum under ORS 109.761 (Inconvenient forum).(2)
Except as otherwise provided in ORS 109.751 (Temporary emergency jurisdiction), a court of this state, before hearing a child custody proceeding, shall examine the court documents and other information supplied by the parties under ORS 109.767 (Information to be submitted to court). If the court determines that a child custody proceeding has been commenced in a court in another state having jurisdiction substantially in accordance with ORS 109.701 (Short title) to 109.834 (Severability clause), the court of this state shall stay its proceeding and communicate with the court of the other state. If the court of the state having jurisdiction substantially in accordance with ORS 109.701 (Short title) to 109.834 (Severability clause) does not determine that the court of this state is a more appropriate forum, the court of this state shall dismiss the proceeding.(3)
In a proceeding to modify a child custody determination, a court of this state shall determine whether a proceeding to enforce the determination has been commenced in another state. If a proceeding to enforce a child custody determination has been commenced in another state, the court may:(a)
Stay the proceeding for modification pending the entry of an order of a court of the other state enforcing, staying, denying or dismissing the proceeding for enforcement;(b)
Enjoin the parties from continuing with the proceeding for enforcement; or(c)
Proceed with the modification under conditions it considers appropriate. [1999 c.649 §18]
