§ 20-146.8. Appearance and limited immunity
A. A party to a child custody proceeding, including a modification
proceeding, or a petitioner or respondent in a proceeding to enforce or
register a child custody determination is not subject to personal
jurisdiction in this Commonwealth for another proceeding or purpose solely by
reason of having participated, or having been physically present for the
purpose of participating, in the proceeding.
B. A person who is subject to personal jurisdiction in this Commonwealth on a
basis other than physical presence is not immune from service of process in
this Commonwealth. A party present in this Commonwealth who is subject to the
jurisdiction of another state is not immune from service of process allowable
under the laws of that state.
C. The immunity granted by subsection A does not extend to civil litigation
based on acts unrelated to the participation in a proceeding under this act
committed by an individual while present in this Commonwealth.
