         a.  The issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction over the
      contesting party.
         b.  The order was obtained by fraud.
         c.  The order has been vacated, suspended, or modified by a
      later order.
         d.  The issuing tribunal has stayed the order pending appeal.

         e.  There is a defense under the law of this state to the
      remedy sought.
         f.  Full or partial payment has been made.
         g.  The statute of limitation under section 252K.604 precludes
      enforcement of some or all of the arrearages.
         2.  If a party presents evidence establishing a full or partial
      defense under subsection 1, a tribunal may stay enforcement of the
      registered order, continue the proceeding to permit production of
      additional relevant evidence, and issue other appropriate orders.  An
      uncontested portion of the registered order may be enforced by all
      remedies available under the law of this state.
         3.  If the contesting party does not establish a defense under
      subsection 1 to the validity or enforcement of the order, the
      registering tribunal shall issue an order confirming the order.
