Description
This appeal involves a child custody dispute under the New Mexico Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (CCJA). See NMSA 1978, §Â§ 40-10-1 to -24 (Repl.1986). The mother, a resident of Oklahoma, appeals from the trial courts ruling transferring physical custody of the parties only child to the father, a resident of New Mexico. Two issues are presented: (1) whether the New Mexico court had jurisdiction under the CCJA; and (2) if the court had jurisdiction, whether it should have declined jurisdiction on the ground that New Mexico was an inconvenient forum for a custody determination. Our calendaring notice proposed summary affirmance. The parties have responded with memoranda in support and in opposition to our proposed disposition. We affirm.
