Section 154. State-wide process

(a) The family court may send process or
  other mandates in any matter in  which  it  has  jurisdiction  into  any
  county of the state for service or execution in like manner and with the
  same force and effect as similar process or mandates of county courts as
  provided by law.
    (b)  In a proceeding to establish paternity or to establish, modify or
  enforce support, the court may send process without  the  state  in  the
  same manner and with the same effect as process sent within the state in
  the  exercise  of  personal  jurisdiction over any person subject to the
  jurisdiction of the court under  section  three  hundred  one  or  three
  hundred two of the civil practice law and rules or under section 580-201
  of  article  five-B  of  the family court act, notwithstanding that such
  person is not a resident or domiciliary of the state.
    (c) In a proceeding arising under article four, five,  six,  eight  or
  ten  of this act in which an order of protection is sought or in which a
  violation of an order of protection  is  alleged,  the  court  may  send
  process without the state in the same manner and with the same effect as
  process  sent  within the state in the exercise of personal jurisdiction
  over any person, subject to the jurisdiction of the court under  section
  three  hundred  one  or  three hundred two of the civil practice law and
  rules, notwithstanding that such person is not a resident or domiciliary
  of the state, so long as: (1)  the  act  or  acts  giving  rise  to  the
  application  for  issuance  or  enforcement  of  the order of protection
  occurred within the state; and  (2)  the  applicant  for  the  order  of
  protection  resides  or  is  domiciled  in  the state or has substantial
  contacts in the state, including but  not  limited  to,  presence  on  a
  regular basis in the state. Upon good cause shown, the court may issue a
  temporary  order  of  protection  in accordance with article four, five,
  six, eight or ten of  this  act.  Where  personal  jurisdiction  over  a
  non-resident  or  non-domiciliary respondent would not be obtainable but
  for  this  subdivision,  the  papers  to  be  served  shall  include   a
  conspicuous  notice that the exercise of such jurisdiction is limited to
  the issue of the order of protection. Where service of  a  petition  and
  summons  upon  a non-resident or non-domiciliary respondent is required,
  such service shall be made at least twenty days before the return  date.
  Where  service  is  effected  on  an  out-of-state  respondent  and  the
  respondent defaults by failing to appear,  the  court  may  on  its  own
  motion, or upon application of any party or the law guardian, proceed to
  a  hearing  with  respect  to  issuance  or  enforcement of the order of
  protection. Nothing in this section shall  be  construed  to  affect  or
  alter the exercise of personal jurisdiction with respect to issues other
  than the order of protection.
