state” of said minor children as that term is defined by said
statutes and it has since remained and is now their home state.
B. It is in the best interest of the minor children that this state assume
jurisdiction because the children and their parents, the parties
hereto, have significant connections with this state, and there is
available in this state substantial evidence concerning the children’s

relationships and the children are physically present in this state.
Cc. Other than the parties hereto, no other person has or claims to
have custody or visitation rights concerning the minor children.

minor children and no party hereto has participated in any such
litigation as a party, witness or in any other capacity. The children
