Jurisdiction change?

05/14/12 10:08 PM

My case was finalized in IL in 2009. Since then BOTH the father and I have left IL. I now reside and have for 3 years, with the children in Washington, the father has lived in Missouri since 2008. I desperately need a modification of our current parenting plan and from what I'm understanding from the UCCJEA Washington would now be considered the "home state" for my children. Can IL deny transferring jurisdiction even though BOTH parents have left the state? As I understand it they can only retain continuing jurisdiction if one of us still lived there which is not the case. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
