      (2) The bases of personal jurisdiction set forth in subsection (1) of this section 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 ORS 110.632 are met or, in the case of a foreign support order, unless the requirements of ORS 110.639 are met.
