The Superior Court of Columbia County awarded temporary custody of Richard D. Croft’s “father” minor child to the child’s mother, Amber L. Croft “mother”. The father filed a direct appeal, challenging jurisdiction and service of process.1 Finding no error, we affirm.2 The parties were married on March 11, 2006, and they moved to Blackville, South Carolina immediately thereafter. Their son, R. C., was born on September 12, 2006.3 On or about October 1, 2007, the family moved from Blackville to Augusta, Georgia. On or about March 20, 2008, the father moved out of the marital home and returned to South Carolina; the mother, who was working part-time and taking online classes, remained in Augusta with R. C.

Initially, R. C. lived with the mother, and he visited the father’s home in South Carolina on the weekends. Then, beginning on May 1, 2008 —pursuant to an agreement between the parents —R. C. stayed with the father Monday through Thursday and with the mother Friday through Sunday. The mother began taking classes at the Medical College of Georgia “MCG” in August 2008, and on September 5, 2008, she enrolled R. C. at the MCG daycare. On September 8, 2008, the mother told the father that R. C. was going to remain with her in Augusta and would be attending the MCG daycare the following day.
