Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (750 ILCS 22/201)
    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
    
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
    
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.
