Mike and Judi were married in Kentucky. After marital difficulties, Mike moves and takes a job in Illinois and Judi moves to Ohio with their three children. Mike has never been to Ohio. He sometimes calls his children on the phone and Face Times with them, and they come to visit him in Illinois occasionally, pursuant to arrangements he makes with Judi. He sends them birthday cards and gifts by mail. Once he asked his mother to travel to Ohio to look after the children for a week while Judi was sick. Ten months following this separation, Judi files for a divorce in Ohio. Mike does not appear, although he is served with papers, and is given notice of the action. (Ohio has a long-arm statute.) Judi is granted the divorce and is awarded sole decision-making authority of the children and the majority of the parenting time. Mike is also ordered to give Judi a one-time payment of $43,000.00 to cover her share of all their marital property. Judi later travels to Illinois and asks an Illinois court to enforce the $43,000.00 property-division order, which Mike has been ignoring. Mike appears in the Illinois court and challenges all of the terms of the Ohio divorce, including the custody and parenting time provisions.
