UCCJEA is the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction enforcement act. It is a statute that has been enacted by all States to determine which State is the proper forum to litigation child custody disputes. The Declaration under UCCJEA must be completed by each party at the beginning of a custody action. The forms include residence addresses of the child for the past 5 years to assist the court in determining if the State where the action was filed is the proper forum.
