custody - jurisdiction - UCCJA

O'Gwynn v. Herbert - Pa. Superior Court, June 21, 2005

I haven't had a chance to fully analyze this case, but it involves both abuse and custody. It was decided under the old UCCJA -- which has been replaced with the UCCJEA -- along with the PPKA. So I'm not sure of its current relevance.
