     § 5411.  Taking testimony in another state.
        (a)  General rule.--In addition to other procedures available
     to a party, a party to a child custody proceeding may offer
     testimony of witnesses who are located in another state,
     including testimony of the parties and the child, by deposition
     or other means allowable in this Commonwealth for testimony
     taken in another state. The court on its own motion may order
     that the testimony of a person be taken in another state and may
     prescribe the manner in which and the terms upon which the
     testimony is taken.
        (b)  Means and location.--A court of this Commonwealth may
     permit an individual residing in another state to be deposed or
     to testify by telephone, audiovisual means or other electronic
     means before a designated court or at another location in that
     state. A court of this Commonwealth shall cooperate with courts
     of other states in designating an appropriate location for the
     deposition or testimony.
        (c)  Transmission of documentary evidence.--Documentary
     evidence transmitted from another state to a court of this
     Commonwealth by technological means that do not produce an
     original writing may not be excluded from evidence on an
     objection based on the means of transmission.
