(8) (c) A child custody determination made by a court of a State is consistent with the provisions of the section only if-- (1) such court has jurisdiction under the law of such State; and (2) one of the following conditions is met: (A) such State (i) is the home state of the child on the date of the commencement of the proceeding, or (ii) has been the child's home State within six months before the date of the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from such State because of his removal or retention by a contestant or for other reasons, and a contestant continues to live in such State; (B) (i) it appears that no other State would have jurisdiction under subparagraph (A), and (ii) it is in the best interest of the child that a court of such State assume jurisdiction because (I) the child and his parents, or the child and at least one contestant, have a significant connection with such State other than mere physical presence in such State, and (II) there is available in such State substantial evidence concerning the child's present or future care, protection, training, and personal relationships; (C) the child is physically present in such State and (i) the child has been abandoned, or (ii) it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because he has been subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse.

8. The issue of whether or not a child custody determination should be given full faith and credit under the U.S. Constitution has been before the U.S. Supreme Court on several occasions, all of them stating that no full faith and credit need be given for a custody decree as it is not a "final judgment". See Ford v Ford (1962) 371 U.S. 188, Kovacs v Brewer (1958) 356 U.S. 604, May v Anderson (1953) 345 U.S. 528, New York ex rel. Halvey v. Halvey (1947) 330 U.S. 610
