Except as otherwise provided in section 583A-204, a court of this State shall not modify a child-custody determination made by a court of another state unless a court of this State has jurisdiction to make an initial determination under section 583A-201(a)(1) or (2) and:

(2) A court of this State or a court of the other state determines that the child, the child's parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state. [L 2002, c 124, pt of §2]
