Proceeding to adjudicate parentage — Personal jurisdiction.

(1) An individual may not be adjudicated to be a parent unless the court has personal jurisdiction over the individual.

     (3) Lack of jurisdiction over one individual does not preclude the court from making an adjudication of parentage binding on another individual over whom the court has personal jurisdiction.
