  • Party may not defend against registration of an out-of-state support order by claiming he is not the child's father; CA court had no authority to order genetic testing.
  • Order confirming registration of foreign support judgment was proper as Germany is a foreign reciprocating country and H did not meet his burden of demonstrating German court lacked jurisdiction over him on any basis.
  • Although registration stmt accompanying NM c/s order registered in San Diego listed zero arrears, ex-W not precluded from later objecting to amount as inaccurate, nor court from adjudicating it.
