## Opinion text

JUSTICE CHAPMAN, specially concurring:
I agree with the majority that the record reflects that there is no evidence of a failure to support. I disagree, however, that we need to reach the due process issue. Because the long-arm requirements were not met in this case, there is no need to determine whether jurisdiction is constitutionally permissible under the due process clause. See Ideal Insurance Agency, Inc. v. Shipyard Marine, Inc., 213 Ill. App. 3d 675 , 572 N.E.2d 353 (1991).
