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.
