1. 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 if:
(a) The nonresident is personally served with a
summons or other notice of the proceeding within this State;
(b) The nonresident 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;
(c) The nonresident resided with the child in
this State;
(d) The nonresident resided in this State and
provided prenatal expenses or support for the child;
(e) The child resides in this State as a result
of the acts or directives of the nonresident;
(f) The nonresident engaged in sexual intercourse
in this State, and the child may have been conceived by that act of
intercourse; or
(g) There is any other basis consistent with the
Constitution of this State and the Constitution of the United States for the
exercise of personal jurisdiction.
2. The bases of personal jurisdiction set
forth in subsection 1 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 NRS 130.611 are met or, in the case of a
foreign support order, unless the requirements of NRS 130.6115 are met.
