| Subsection (c) [Me. cite subsection 3] is concerned with the |
temporary nature of the order when there exists a prior custody |
order that is entitled to be enforced under this Act or when a |
subsequent custody proceeding is filed in a State with |
jurisdiction under Sections 201-203 [Me. cite sections 1745 to |
1747]. Subsection (c) [Me. cite subsection 3] allows the |
temporary order to remain in effect only so long as is necessary |
for the person who obtained the determination under this section |
to present a case and obtain an order from the State with |
jurisdiction under Sections 201-203 [Me. cite sections 1745 to |
1747]. That time period must be specified in the order. If |
there is an existing order by a State with jurisdiction under |
Sections 201-203 [Me. cite sections 1745 to 1747], that order |
need not be reconfirmed. The temporary emergency determination |
would lapse by its own terms at the end of the specified period |
or when an order is obtained from the court with jurisdiction |
under Sections 202-203 [Me. cite sections 1746 and 1747]. The |
court with appropriate jurisdiction also may decide, under the |
provisions of 207 [Me. cite subsection 1751], that the court that |
entered the emergency order is in a better position to address |
the safety of the person who obtained the emergency order, or the |
child, and decline jurisdiction under Section 207 [Me. cite |
subsection 1751]. |
