(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 applicable pursuant to NRS 130.604 precludes enforcement of some or all of the alleged arrearages; or

An uncontested portion of the registered support 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 a registered support order, the registering tribunal shall issue an order confirming the order.
