D was ordered to pay $34 per week. After the divorce, Kathy and the two children moved to Indiana. D remained in Michigan and has not visited the children.

D appeared in person and filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. The trial court agreed and dismissed all of the charges. The State appealed.
