child custody determination made by a court of another state unless a court of this state

has jurisdiction to make an initial determination under KRS 403.822(1)(a) or (b) and:

(1) The court of the other state determines that it no longer has exclusive, continuing

jurisdiction under KRS 403.824 or that a court of this state would be a more

convenient forum under KRS 403.834; or

(2) A court of this state or a court of the other state determines that the child, the child's

parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state.
