19 (2009). I. Jurisdiction under UCCJEA Section 201 The first provision of the UCCJEA, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50A-201, “addresses the jurisdictional requirements for initial child-custody determinations.” In re J.W.S., 194 N.C. App. 439, 446, 669 S.E.2d 850, 854 (2008). The UCCJEA defines an “initial determination” as “the first child-custody determination concerning a particular child.” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50A-102(8). Here, the record establishes that the initial custody determinations with respect to all three juveniles were made by the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas in Fayette County. Consequently, the North Carolina court lacked jurisdiction under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50A-201 to enter an order terminating respondent’s parental rights. See N.R.M., 165 N.C. App. at 298, 598 S.E.2d at 150 (<HOLDING>). II. Jurisdiction under UCCJEA Section 203 The
