Foreign <strong>Support</strong> Orders<br />

§43-1734. Foreign support order; validity; prima facie evidence; allowable defenses.<br />

At any hearing contesting a proposed income withholding based on a foreign support order<br />

entered under section 43-1729, the entered order, the certified copy of an income withholding<br />

order or notice, if any, still in effect, and the sworn or certified statement concerning arrearages<br />

and any assignment of rights shall constitute prima facie evidence, without further proof or<br />

foundation, that the support order is valid, that the amount of current support payments and<br />

arrearages is as stated, and that the obligee would be entitled to income withholding under the<br />

law of the jurisdiction which issued the support order.<br />

Once a prima facie case has been established, the obligor may raise only the following<br />

defenses:<br />

(1) That withholding is not proper because of a mistake of fact, that is not res judicata,<br />

concerning matters such as an error in the amount of current support owed or the arrearage that<br />

has accrued, mistaken identity of the obligor, or error in the amount of income to be withheld;<br />

(2) That the court or agency which issued the support order lacked personal jurisdiction<br />

over the obligor;<br />

(3) That the support order was obtained by fraud; or<br />

(4) That the statute of limitations, as provided in subsection (3) of section 43-1742,<br />

precludes enforcement of all or part of the arrearages.<br />

The burden shall be on the obligor to establish such defenses.<br />
