Supreme Court of New Jersey June 21, 1982 (E. E. B. v. D. A.)

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

POLLOCK, J.

The issue on this appeal is whether the courts of New Jersey have jurisdiction to determine the best interest of a child in an interstate custody dispute. In this case, prospective adoptive parents seek to retain custody of a three and one-half year old girl who has lived with them since six days after her birth.
