In Re the Marriage of Malwitz

RICE, Justice.

Susan Malwitz appeals a ruling by the court of appeals reversing the trial court's finding that it had personal jurisdiction over her non-resident husband, Reginald Parr (the "Defendant", in an action for dissolution of marriage and child support. In re the Marriage of Malwitz, 81 P.3d 1076 (Colo.App.2003). Because we conclude that the trial court possessed both statutory and constitutional authority to exercise jurisdiction over the Defendant, we reverse the court of appeals and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
