KLEIN, J.

The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) gives Florida courts personal jurisdiction over a nonresident parent to establish, enforce or modify child support orders, if the child resides in Florida "as a result of the acts or directives" of the nonresident parent. The issue in this case is whether the nonresident father, who merely acquiesced in his daughter residing in Florida, is subject to personal jurisdiction. We conclude he is not.
