In Oehl v. Oehl, 221 Va. 618, 272 S.E.2d 441 (1980) the court observed that in proceeding in which Virginia court granted divorced father rights of visitation with his children in the United States, refusal to grant comity to English court’s order limiting father’s access to children to access in England was error, in light of fact that English court had complete jurisdiction, that laws applied by that court and those of Virginia were reasonably comparable, that the court’s order was based on a formal adjudication concerning welfare of the children and that there was no evidence of a subsequent change of conditions.

The Court in Middleton v. Middleton, 227 Va. 82, 314 S.E.2d 362 (1984) stated that Virginia courts were not required by the provisions of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act to grant comity to custody decree entered by an English court, despite fact that the father was served with the originating summons and granted a full hearing in the English court at which he put in evidence in support of his position, where foreign jurisdiction was obtained by the mother spiriting the child away from his domicile, forcing the father to litigate in England or disregard the foreign proceedings and thereby increased the risk of an unfavorable ruling abroad, and where the child had no conceivable connection with England except for his forced physical presence there.
