Facts
Steve Parker (plaintiff), a California resident, engaged in sexual intercourse with an Alaska resident while in Alaska. A child resulted, and the state (defendant) brought an action for paternity and child support against Steve. Steve challenged the superior court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction over him, claiming he did not have sufficient minimum contacts with the state and that Alaska’s exercise of jurisdiction violated his due-process rights.
