§ 2a:4-30.

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 or conservator if: (1) the individual is personally served with a 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) 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. 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

section 55 1 are met, or, in the case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of section

59 2 are met. 1
