• holding that, in determining where child lived for purposes of establishing home-state jurisdiction, trial court must consider child’s physical presence in state
• holding that, in determining where child lived for purposes of establishing home-state jurisdiction, trial court must consider child’s physical presence in state
• holding that “in determining where a child lived for purposes of establishing home-state jurisdiction, the trial court must consider the child’s physical presence in 30 a state.”
• concluding that regardless of the child‟s significant connections to Texas, the Texas court must stay its proceedings to communicate with and defer to the trial court in Tennessee, which was the child‟s home state
• holding Tennessee’s exercise of jurisdiction was “substantially in accordance with [the UC-CJEA]” because Tennessee was child’s home state
• holding that “a test based on the totality of the circumstances suffers from essentially the same weakness as a purely intent-based test; both seek to promote flexibility at the expense of the jurisdictional certainty that the home-state provision was intended to provide”
