Hey ****! The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) helps determine which state has jurisdiction over child custody matters. In Florida, key points include:
- The child's "home state" (where the child lived for at least 6 months before the custody action).
- Emergency jurisdiction if the child is in danger.
- Significant connection and substantial evidence about the child's care.

****, it sounds like you're dealing with a complex issue regarding jurisdiction. If New York has improperly asserted continuing jurisdiction, Florida may still have jurisdiction if it meets certain criteria under the UCCJEA.
