Law reviews. For article, "The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act and the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act", see 11 Colo. Law. 1224 (1982). For article, "Interstate Custody Problems Revisited", see 11 Colo. Law. 2596 (1982).

Annotator's note. Since § 14-13-108 is similar to §§ 14-13-105 and 14-13-106 as they existed prior to the 2000 repeal and reenactment of this article, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.

Notice by publication controlled by C.R.C.P. 4(h). Since subsection (1)(d) does not specify the number of times that publication is required to effect notice under the act, C.R.C.P. 4(h) controls. In re Blair, 42 Colo. App. 270, 592 P.2d 1354 (1979) (decided under former § 14-13-106).

In the best interests of the child, the hearing in a custody action should be swiftly concluded. Nelson v. District Court, 186 Colo. 381, 527 P.2d 811 (1974).

The custody hearing may be properly made part of a habeas corpus proceeding, which is considered to be a suit in equity. Nelson v. District Court, 186 Colo. 381, 527 P.2d 811 (1974).

Determination that court lacks jurisdiction not "decree". A determination by a court that it lacks jurisdiction to entertain a petition for custody is not a decree such as is contemplated by this section. Clark v. Kendrick, 670 P.2d 32 (Colo. App. 1983).
