Most-quoted passages

1. ““Successive contradictory determinations by courts of sister states, even if with ‘jurisdiction,’ are unseemly and intolerable in a federal union. Such contradictory determinations are hardly justified by the flexibility of res judicata and full faith and credit principles in child custody matters. That is the sense of . the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act adopted by many of the states to rid child custody matters of the incubus of child-snatching and forum shopping.” Martin v. Martin, 45 N.Y.2d 739 , 408 N.Y.S.2d 479 , 380 N.E.2d 305 (1978).”
