Sec. 201. 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 notice |
|
(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
|
|
(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
|
| the putative father registry maintained in this State by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services; 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 (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 611 are met, or, in the case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of Section 615 are met.
