(a) In a\nproceeding to establish or enforce a support order or to determine\nparentage of a child, a tribunal of this state may exercise personal\njurisdiction over a nonresident individual or the individual's guardian\nor conservator if:\n (1) the individual is personally served with a summons and petition\nwithin this state;\n (2) the individual submits to the jurisdiction of this state by\nconsent, by entering a general appearance, or by filing a responsive\ndocument or other action having the effect of waiving any contest to\npersonal jurisdiction;\n (3) the individual resided with the child in this state;\n (4) the individual resided in this state and provided prenatal\nexpenses or support for the child;\n (5) the child resides in this state as a result of the acts or\ndirectives of the individual;\n (6) the individual engaged in sexual intercourse in this state and the\nchild may have been conceived by that act of intercourse;\n (7) the individual asserted parentage of a child in the putative\nfather registry maintained in this state by the office of children and\nfamily services; or\n (8) there is any other basis consistent with the constitutions of this\nstate and the United States for the exercise of personal jurisdiction.\n (b) The bases of personal jurisdiction set forth in subdivision (a) of\nthis section or in any other law of this state may not be used to\nacquire personal jurisdiction for a tribunal of this state to modify a\nchild support order of another state unless the requirements of section\n580-611 of this article are met, or, in the case of a foreign support\norder, unless the requirements of section 580-615 of this article are\nmet.\n
