Description
Frederick Forsyth, appeared specially and moved to dismiss. The issue on appeal is whether the Superior Court for Snohomish County should have assumed jurisdiction "to determine the matter of custody of the minor children [of the parties] and the related problems regarding child support, alimony, and visitation." The matter was submitted to the trial judge upon the affidavits, exhibits, and memorandums of authorities which have been made a part of the record on appeal. The trial judge found that the same issues were pending in a proceeding in California; that the California court had personal jurisdiction over the parties; and that Val Forsyth, petitioner here, was in contempt of the California court for failure to comply with that courts process. The trial judge concluded that he should not assume jurisdiction. We agree.
