§ 20-4-142 — Basis for jurisdiction over nonresident

(a) In a proceeding to establish or enforce a support
order or to determine parentage of a child, a tribunal of this
state may exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident
individual or the individual's guardian or conservator if:
(i) The individual is personally served with notice
within the state;
(ii) The individual submits to the jurisdiction of
this state by consent in a record, by entering a general
appearance, or by filing a responsive document having the effect
of waiving any contest to personal jurisdiction;
(iii) The individual resided with the child in this
state;
(iv) The individual resided in this state and
provided prenatal expenses or support for the child;
(v) The child resides in this state as a result of
the acts or directives of the individual;
(vi) The individual engaged in sexual intercourse in
this state and the child may have been conceived by that act of
intercourse;
(vii) The individual asserted parentage of a child in
this state pursuant to the putative father registry created by
W.S. 1-22-117 and maintained in this state by the department of
family services; or
(viii) There is any other basis consistent with the
constitutions of this state and the United States for the
exercise of personal jurisdiction.
(b) The bases of personal jurisdiction set forth in
subsection (a) of this section or in any other law of this state
may not be used to acquire personal jurisdiction for a tribunal
of this state to modify a child support order of another state
unless the requirements of W.S. 20-4-183 are met, or, in the
case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of W.S.
20-4-197 are met.
