Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided November 5, 1981.

C. Gregory Watts argued the cause for respondent (Large, Scammell & Danziger, attorneys).

Before Judges MICHELS, McELROY and J.H. COLEMAN.


The opinion of the court was delivered by J.H. COLEMAN, J.A.D.

This action involves an interstate child custody dispute brought pursuant to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA). The pivotal issues presented are (1) whether New Jersey has jurisdiction to hear the case and (2) whether a plenary hearing is required to examine the merits of plaintiff's allegations. We answer yes to both questions.
