(1)

(a)

(b)

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;

The individual resided with the child in this state;

(d)

The individual 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 individual;

(f)

The individual 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 Constitutions of the State of Oregon and the United States for the exercise of personal jurisdiction.

(2)

The bases of personal jurisdiction set forth in subsection (1) of this section 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 ORS 110.632 (Modification of child support order of another state) are met or, in the case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of ORS 110.639 (Jurisdiction to modify foreign child support order) are met.
