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 applicable under section 25-1304 precludes enforcement of some or all of the alleged arrearages.
