Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant, Randy J. Adriance, contends that the lower court erred in (1) enforcing its previous decree awarding custody of the parties’ children to appellee, Margaret J. Adriance, and (2) refusing to recognize the Nevada custody decrees awarding custody to appellant, and the Maryland order recognizing the Nevada decree. We find that the lower court correctly resolved these issues under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA), 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5341 et seq., and, accordingly, affirm the lower court’s order.
