for the child;

(e) The child resides in this state as a result of the acts or directives of the

(f) The individual engaged in sexual intercourse in this state and the child may

have been conceived by that act of intercourse;

(g) The individual asserted parentage of a child in the putative father registry

(h) There is any other basis consistent with the constitutions of this state and the

United States for the exercise of personal jurisdiction.

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 KRS 407.5611 are met, or, in the case of a foreign support ord er, unless the

requirements of KRS 407.5615 are met.
