subject matter jurisdiction over the grandparents' modification of custody action, as there was no evidence to suggest that the initial 2001 custody determination was not made consistent with O.C.G.A. § 19-9-61 , even without personal jurisdiction over the child's parent, the custody determination entered by the superior court was upheld on appeal; moreover, visitation was considered a custody issue under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-9-41(3) . Daniels v. Barnes, 289 Ga. App. 897 , 658 S.E.2d 472 (2008).

Further, the case should be stayed, not dismissed. In the Interest of A. L., 351 Ga. App. 824 , 833 S.E.2d 296 (2019). Res judicata did not bar custody petition. - Since a previous visitation order related to the grandparent's right to visitation, not custody, and the legal issues to be decided varied, the trial court properly determined that res judicata did not bar the grandparents' petition for custody under the Uniform Child Jurisdiction and Custody Act, O.C.G.A.
