appropriate forum. The issue of inconvenient forum may be raised upon motion of a party,
4.7
the court's own motion, or request of another court.
4.8
(b) Before determining whether it is an inconvenient forum, a court of this state shall
4.9

4.10
this purpose, the court shall allow the parties to submit information and shall consider all
4.11

4.26
another state is a more appropriate forum, it shall stay the proceedings upon condition that

a child custody proceeding be promptly commenced in another designated state and may
4.28
impose any other condition the court considers just and proper.
4.29

gender-affirming health care. Failure to comply with a subpoena seeking information related
5.12
to a person or entity allowing or assisting a child or an adult to receive gender-affirming
5.13
health care when the information is being requested to enforce another state's laws that
5.14
allow a civil or criminal action to be brought against a person for allowing or providing
5.15
gender-affirming health care must not be the basis for contempt under section 588.01.
5.16
(b) "Gender-affirming health care" means medically necessary health care or mental
5.17
health care that respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined by
5.18
the patient, and that may include but is not limited to:
5.19

5.20

518D.207 INCONVENIENT FORUM.
4.3
(a) A court of this state which has jurisdiction under this chapter to make a child custody
4.4
determination may decline to exercise its jurisdiction at any time if it determines that it is
4.5
an inconvenient forum under the circumstances and that a court of another state is a more
4.6
appropriate forum. The issue of inconvenient forum may be raised upon motion of a party,
4.7
the court's own motion, or request of another court.
4.8
(b) Before determining whether it is an inconvenient forum, a court of this state shall
4.9
consider whether it is appropriate for a court of another state to exercise jurisdiction. For
4.10
this purpose, the court shall allow the parties to submit information and shall consider all
4.11
relevant factors, including:
4.12
(1) whether domestic violence has occurred and is likely to continue in the future and
4.13
which state could best protect the parties and the child;
4.14
(2) the length of time the child has resided outside this state;
4.15
(3) the distance between the court in this state and the court in the state that would assume
4.16
jurisdiction;
4.17
(4) the relative financial circumstances of the parties;
4.18
(5) any agreement of the parties as to which state should assume jurisdiction;
4.19
(6) the nature and location of the evidence required to resolve the pending litigation,
4.20
including testimony of the child;
4.21
(7) the ability of the court of each state to decide the issue expeditiously and the
4.22
procedures necessary to present the evidence; and
4.23
(8) the familiarity of the court of each state with the facts and issues in the pending
4.24
litigation.
4.25
(c) If a court of this state determines that it is an inconvenient forum and that a court of
4.26
another state is a more appropriate forum, it shall stay the proceedings upon condition that
4.27
a child custody proceeding be promptly commenced in another designated state and may
4.28
impose any other condition the court considers just and proper.
4.29
(d) A court of this state may decline to exercise its jurisdiction under this chapter if a
