JURISDICTION TO MODIFY DETERMINATION
Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 of this act, a court
of this state may not modify a child custody determination made by a
court of another state unless a court of this state has jurisdiction
to make an initial determination under paragraph 1 or 2 of
subsection A of Section 13 of this act and:
1.  The court of the other state determines it no longer has
exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under Section 14 of this act or
that a court of this state would be a more convenient forum under
Section 19 of this act; or
2.  A court of this state or a court of the other state
determines that the child, the child's parents, and any person
acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state.
