§ 3-8-207 — Jurisdiction declined by reason of conduct

(a) If at any time a court of this state determines that
it acquired jurisdiction to appoint a guardian or issue a
protective order because of unjustifiable conduct, the court
may:
(i) Decline to exercise jurisdiction;
(ii) Exercise jurisdiction for the limited purpose of
fashioning an appropriate remedy to ensure the health, safety
and welfare of the respondent or the protection of the
respondent's property or prevent a repetition of the
unjustifiable conduct, including staying the proceeding until a
petition for the appointment of a guardian or issuance of a
protective order is filed in a court of another state having
jurisdiction; or
(iii) Continue to exercise jurisdiction after
considering:
(A) The extent to which the respondent and all
persons required to be notified of the proceedings have
acquiesced in the exercise of the court's jurisdiction;
(B) Whether it is a more appropriate forum than
the court of any other state under the factors set forth in W.S.
3-8-206(c); and
(C) Whether the court of any other state would
have jurisdiction under factual circumstances in substantial
conformity with the jurisdictional standards of W.S. 3-8-203.
(b) If a court of this state determines that it acquired
jurisdiction to appoint a guardian or issue a protective order
because a party seeking to invoke its jurisdiction engaged in
unjustifiable conduct, it may assess against that party
necessary and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees,
investigative fees, court costs, communication expenses, witness
fees and expenses and travel expenses. The court may not assess
fees, costs or expenses of any kind against this state or a
governmental subdivision, agency or instrumentality of this
state unless authorized by law other than this act.
