1Opinion of the Court

This is a child custody jurisdiction case arising primarily under the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act of 1980,28 U.S.C.A. § 1738A (1983 Supp.).

This appeal involves a minor child who has been the subject of several custody proceedings. In the latest proceeding the Circuit Court of Montgomery County declined to exercise jurisdiction on the mother's petition to modify custody.

The mother through able counsel appeals contending the trial court erred to reversal in refusing to exercise jurisdiction. We find no error requiring reversal and affirm.

The record in pertinent part reveals the following:
