Any  relevant   provisions  of  the Service Member's Civil Relief Act shall apply to all   proceedings governed by this section.2.

Such order shall be  subject  to  review  pursuant  to   subdivision  three  of  this  section. When entering an order under this   section, the court shall consider and provide for, if feasible and if in   the best interests of the child, contact between  the  military  service   member  and  his  or her child including, but not limited to, electronic   communication by e-mail, webcam, telephone, or  other  available  means.   During the period of the parent's leave from military service, the court   shall  consider  the  best  interests  of  the child when establishing a   parenting schedule, including  visiting  and  other  contact.  For  such   purpose, a "leave from service" shall be a period of not more than three   months.3. Unless the parties have otherwise stipulated or agreed, if an order   is  issued  under  this  section,  the  return of the parent from active   military service, deployment or temporary assignment shall be considered   a substantial change  in  circumstances.  Upon  the  request  of  either   parent,  the  court  shall  determine  on  the basis of the child's best   interests whether the custody judgment or  order  previously  in  effect   should be modified.4.  This  section  shall  not  apply  to assignments to permanent duty   stations or permanent changes of station.

§  76-f.  Inconvenient  forum.  1.  A  court  of  this state which has jurisdiction under this article to make a  child  custody  determination may  decline  to  exercise its jurisdiction at any time if it determines that it is an inconvenient forum under  the  circumstances  and  that  a court  of  another  state  is  a  more  appropriate  forum.

Before determining whether it is an inconvenient forum, a court  of this  state  shall  consider  whether  it  is appropriate for a court of another state to exercise jurisdiction.  For  this  purpose,  the  court shall  allow  the  parties  to submit information and shall consider all relevant factors, including:  (a) whether domestic violence or mistreatment or abuse of a  child  or sibling  has  occurred and is likely to continue in the future and which state could best protect the parties and the child;  (b) the length of time the child has resided outside this state;  (c) the distance between the court in this state and the court in  the state that would assume jurisdiction;  (d) the relative financial circumstances of the parties;  (e)  any  agreement  of  the  parties  as to which state should assume jurisdiction;  (f) the nature and location of the evidence required  to  resolve  the pending litigation, including testimony of the child;  (g)  the  ability  of  the  court  of  each  state to decide the issue expeditiously and the procedures necessary to present the evidence; and  (h) the familiarity of the court of each  state  with  the  facts  and issues in the pending litigation.   3.

If  a  court  of  this state declines to exercise its jurisdiction pursuant  to  subdivision  one  of  this  section,  it  may  fashion  an appropriate  remedy  to  ensure  the  safety  of the child and prevent a repetition  of  the  unjustifiable  conduct,   including   staying   the proceeding  until  a  child  custody  proceeding is commenced in a court having jurisdiction under sections seventy-six through seventy-six-b  of this title.   3.  If  a  court dismisses a petition or stays a proceeding because it declines to exercise its jurisdiction pursuant  to  subdivision  one  of this  section,  it  shall assess against the party seeking to invoke its jurisdiction  necessary  and  reasonable   expenses   including   costs, communication  expenses,  attorney's  fees, investigative fees, expenses for witnesses, travel expenses, and child care during the course of  the proceedings, unless the party from whom fees are sought establishes that the  assessment would be inappropriate. No fees, costs or expenses shall be assessed against a party who is fleeing an  incident  or  pattern  of domestic violence or mistreatment or abuse of a child or sibling, unless the  court  is  convinced  by  a  preponderance  of  evidence  that such assessment would be clearly appropriate. The court may not assess  fees, costs,  or  expenses  against  this state unless authorized by law other than this article.   4. In making a determination under this section,  a  court  shall  not consider  as  a factor weighing against the petitioner any taking of the child, or retention of the  child  after  a  visit  or  other  temporary relinquishment  of  physical  custody,  from  the  person  who has legal custody, if there is evidence that the taking or retention of the  child was  to  protect  the  petitioner from domestic violence or the child or sibling from mistreatment or abuse.
