The court of the other state determines it no longer has exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under RSA 458-A:13 or that a court of this state would be a more convenient forum under RSA 458-A:18; or

II.

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. Source. 2009, 191:1, eff. Dec. 1, 2010.
