(a) Personal jurisdiction. A person shall not be adjudicated a parent unless the court has personal jurisdiction over the person.
(b) Personal jurisdiction over nonresident. A court of this State having jurisdiction to adjudicate parentage may exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident person, or the guardian or conservator of the person, if the conditions prescribed in Title 15B are fulfilled.
(c) Adjudication. Lack of jurisdiction over one person does not preclude the court from making an adjudication of parentage binding on another person over whom the court has personal jurisdiction. (Added 2017, No. 162 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
