Sec. 206.     Simultaneous Proceedings.(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 204, a court of this State may  not exercise its jurisdiction under this Article if, at the time of the  commencement of  the proceeding, a proceeding concerning the custody of the child has been  commenced in a court of another state having jurisdiction substantially in  conformity with this Act, unless the proceeding has been terminated or is  stayed by  the court of the other state because a court of this State is a more convenient  forum  under Section 207.(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 204, a court of this State,  before hearing a child-custody proceeding, shall examine the court documents  and  other information supplied by the parties pursuant to Section 209.  If the  court  determines that a child-custody proceeding has been commenced in a court in  another state having jurisdiction substantially in accordance with this Act,  the court  of this State shall stay its proceeding and communicate with the court of the  other  state.  If the court of the state having jurisdiction substantially in  accordance with  this Act does not determine that the court of this State is a more appropriate  forum,  the court of this State shall dismiss the proceeding.(c) In a proceeding to modify a child-custody determination, a court of this  State shall determine whether a proceeding to enforce the determination has  been  commenced in another state.  If a proceeding to enforce a child-custody  determination has been commenced in another state, the court may:(1) stay the proceeding for modification pending the     entry of an order of a court of the other state enforcing, staying, denying, or dismissing the proceeding for enforcement;(2) enjoin the parties from continuing with the     proceeding for enforcement; or(3) proceed with the modification under conditions it     considers appropriate.

Sec. 207.     Inconvenient Forum.(a) A court of this State which has jurisdiction under this Act 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.  The issue of inconvenient forum  may  be raised upon motion of a party, the court's own motion, or request of another  court.(b) 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:(1) whether domestic violence has occurred and is     likely to continue in the future and which state could best protect the parties and the child;(2) the length of time the child has resided outside     this State;(3) the distance between the court in this State and     the court in the state that would assume jurisdiction;(4) the relative financial circumstances of the     parties;(5) any agreement of the parties as to which state     should assume jurisdiction;(6) the nature and location of the evidence required     to resolve the pending litigation, including testimony of the child;(7) the ability of the court of each state to decide     the issue expeditiously and the procedures necessary to present the evidence; and(8) the familiarity of the court of each state with     the facts and issues in the pending litigation.(c) If a court of this State determines that it is an inconvenient forum and  that a court of another state is a more appropriate forum, it shall stay the  proceedings upon condition that a child-custody proceeding be promptly  commenced in another designated state and may impose any other condition the  court considers just and proper.(d) A court of this State may decline to exercise its jurisdiction under  this  Act if a child-custody determination is incidental to an action for divorce or  another  proceeding while still retaining jurisdiction over the divorce or other  proceeding.

Sec. 208.     Jurisdiction Declined By Reason Of Conduct.(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 204 or by other law of this  State, if a court of this State has jurisdiction under this Act because a  person  seeking to invoke its jurisdiction has engaged in unjustifiable conduct, the  court  shall decline to exercise its jurisdiction unless:(1) the parents and all persons acting as parents     have acquiesced in the exercise of jurisdiction;(2) a court of the state otherwise having     jurisdiction under Sections 201 through 203 determines that this State is a more appropriate forum under Section 207; or(3) no court of any other state would have     jurisdiction under the criteria specified in Sections 201 through 203.(b) If a court of this State declines to exercise its jurisdiction pursuant  to  subsection (a), 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 201 through 203.(c) If a court dismisses a petition or stays a proceeding because it  declines  to exercise its jurisdiction pursuant to subsection (a), 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 clearly inappropriate.
