Description
1 Margaret Stroot appeals from an order dismissing her petition to enforce the physical placement of her minor child under an Illinois judgment divorcing her from Claude A. Potts. The petition was dismissed in favor of jurisdiction to be exercised by an Illinois court. Stroot argues that Wisconsin is the more appropriate forum to decide the existing placement dispute since she resided in Wisconsin with the child before physical placement was altered. We conclude that the circuit court properly exercised its discretion in deferring to the concurrent jurisdiction of the Illinois court under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, WIS. STAT.822.07 (2003-04). We affirm the circuit courts order.
