     § 7607.  Contest of registration or enforcement.
        (a)  Defenses.--A party contesting the validity or
     enforcement of a registered order or seeking to vacate the
     registration has the burden of proving any of the following
     defenses:
            (1)  The issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction
        over the contesting party.
            (2)  The order was obtained by fraud.
            (3)  The order has been vacated, suspended or modified by
        a later order.
            (4)  The issuing tribunal has stayed the order pending
        appeal.
            (5)  There is a defense under the law of this State to
        the remedy sought.
            (6)  Full or partial payment has been made.
            (7)  The statute of limitation under section 7604
        (relating to choice of law) precludes enforcement of some or
        all of the arrearages.
        (b)  Relief.--If a party presents evidence establishing a
     full or partial defense under subsection (a), 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.
        (c)  Affirmance.--If the contesting party does not establish
     a defense under subsection (a) to the validity or enforcement of
     the order, the registering tribunal shall issue an order
     confirming the order.
