(a) The court of the other state determines it no longer has exclusive, continuing
jurisdiction under a provision of law adopted by that state that is in substantial conformity with

provision of law adopted by that state that is in substantial conformity with section 14-13-207; or
(b) A court of this state or a court of the other state determines that the child, the child's
