Indiana Court of Appeals
Maimouna Coulibaly v. Eric Stevance

49A02-1702-DR-235
Domestic relation. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s finding that it lacked jurisdiction to modify a child custody order issued in Mali in favor of Eric Stevance and against Maimouna Coulibaly. Finds Mali’s child custody laws do not violate fundamental human rights under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, so Indiana courts do not have jurisdiction to strike down the Malian custody order.
