Sec. 10. If the marriage of the child's parents has been dissolved in another state, the child's maternal or paternal grandparent may seek visitation rights if:
(1) the custody decree entered in the action for dissolution of marriage does not bind the grandparent under IC 31-21-3-1 (or IC 31-17-3-12 before its repeal); and
(2) an Indiana court would have jurisdiction under IC 31-21-5-1 (or IC 31-17-3-3 before its repeal), IC 31-21-5-2, or IC 31-21-5-3 (or IC 31-17-3-14 before its repeal) to grant visitation rights to the grandparent in a modification decree.
