Description
REED, Justice. This is a child custody case involving an ""interstate child."" The mother was awarded permanent custody in a divorce judgment in a foreign state. The father later moved to Louisville, Kentucky. The mother brought the child to the father. The father, while in possession of the child, brought an action against the mother in the Jefferson Circuit Court to modify the foreign custody order. The mother questioned the jurisdiction of the court. The circuit court held a hearing and on the pleadings, affidavits, and statements of counsel entered an order that it had jurisdiction to determine the issue of modification. This order confined itself to the question of jurisdiction but contained a recital that it was ""final and appealable and that there was no just reason for delay."" CR 54.02. The mother filed a notice of appeal from this order. A subsequent order found her in contempt for removing the child from this state and awarded ""immediate possession"" of the child to the father. No appeal was attempted from this order.
