§ 35201. Bases 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 if:

(1) the individual is personally served with summons or notice

within this state;

(2) 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;

(3) the individual resided with the child in this state;

(4) the individual resided in this state and provided prenatal

expenses or support for the child;

(5) the child resides in this state as a result of the acts or

directives of the individual;

(6) the individual engaged in sexual intercourse in this state

and the child may have been conceived by that act of intercourse;

(7) the individual asserted parentage of a child in a Guam

Declaration of Paternity form; or

(8) 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

35201(a), 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 § 35611 are met, or, in

the case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of § 35615

are met.
