     § 5409.  Appearance and limited immunity.
        (a)  General rule.--A party to a child custody proceeding,
     including a modification proceeding or a petitioner or
     respondent in a proceeding to enforce or register a child
     custody determination, is not subject to personal jurisdiction
     in this Commonwealth for another proceeding or purpose solely by
     reason of having participated or of having been physically
     present for the purpose of participating in the proceeding.
        (b)  Service.--A person who is subject to personal
     jurisdiction in this Commonwealth on a basis other than physical
     presence is not immune from service of process in this
     Commonwealth. A party present in this Commonwealth who is
     subject to the jurisdiction of another state is not immune from
     service of process allowable under the laws of that state.
        (c)  Acts committed while in this Commonwealth.--The immunity
     granted by subsection (a) does not extend to civil litigation
     based on acts unrelated to the participation in a proceeding
     under this chapter committed by an individual while present in
     this Commonwealth.
