if reasonably ascertainable, under oath as to the child's present address or whereabouts,
the places where the child has lived during the last 5 years, and the names and present
addresses of the persons with whom the child has lived during that period. The pleading or affidavit must state whether the party: (a) Has participated, as a party or witness or in any other capacity, in any other
proceeding concerning the custody of or visitation with the child and, if so, identify
the court, the case number and the date of the child custody determination, if any; (b) Knows of any proceeding that could affect the current proceeding, including proceedings
for enforcement and proceedings relating to domestic violence, protective orders,
termination of parental rights and adoptions and, if so, identify the court, the case
number and the nature of the proceeding; and (c) Knows the names and addresses of any person not a party to the proceeding who
has physical custody of the child or claims rights of legal custody or physical custody
of, or visitation with, the child and, if so, the names and addresses of those persons. 2. If the information required by subsection 1 is not furnished, the court, upon motion
of a party or its own motion, may stay the proceeding until the information is furnished. 3. If the declaration as to any of the items described in paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of subsection 1 is in the affirmative, the declarant shall give additional information
under oath as required by the court. The court may examine the parties under oath as to details of the information furnished
and other matters pertinent to the court's jurisdiction and the disposition of the
case. 4. Each party has a continuing duty to inform the court of any proceeding in this
or any other state that could affect the current proceeding. 5. If a party alleges in an affidavit or a pleading under oath that the health, safety
or liberty of a party or child would be jeopardized by disclosure of identifying information,
the information must be sealed and may not be disclosed to the other party or the
public unless the court orders the disclosure to be made after a hearing in which
the court takes into consideration the health, safety or liberty of the party or child
and determines that the disclosure is in the interest of justice.
