     § 5422.  Exclusive, continuing jurisdiction.
        (a)  General rule.--Except as otherwise provided in section
     5424 (relating to temporary emergency jurisdiction), a court of
     this Commonwealth which has made a child custody determination
     consistent with section 5421 (relating to initial child custody
     jurisdiction) or 5423 (relating to jurisdiction to modify
     determination) has exclusive, continuing jurisdiction over the
     determination until:
            (1)  a court of this Commonwealth determines that neither
        the child, nor the child and one parent, nor the child and a
        person acting as a parent have a significant connection with
        this Commonwealth and that substantial evidence is no longer
        available in this Commonwealth concerning the child's care,
        protection, training and personal relationships; or
            (2)  a court of this Commonwealth or a court of another
        state determines that the child, the child's parents and any
        person acting as a parent do not presently reside in this
        Commonwealth.
        (b)  Modification where court does not have exclusive,
     continuing jurisdiction.--A court of this Commonwealth which has
     made a child custody determination and does not have exclusive,
     continuing jurisdiction under this section may modify that
     determination only if it has jurisdiction to make an initial
     determination under section 5421.
