Description
Michael Joe Vestal was the respondent in Washington to a petition for child support under the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act. The State brought the action on behalf of the child's mother, who initiated the petition in Indiana to enforce an Indiana court order adjudging Vestal to be the father of the child and ordering support. The Pierce County Superior Court ruled in favor of the mother after refusing to entertain Vestal's Fourteenth Amendment due process challenge to the jurisdiction of the Indiana court. Vestal, who denied paternity, was attempting to show that he had not been personally served and had thereby been denied an opportunity for a hearing in the paternity suit. We reverse and remand for a hearing on that defense to the enforcement of the Indiana judgment.
