  entitled to recognition under  this  article  has  not  been  issued,  a

    (2) the support  enforcement  agency  seeking  the  order  is  located
  outside this state.
    (b)  The  tribunal  may  issue  a temporary child support order if the

    (3) identified as the father of the child through genetic testing;
    (4) an alleged father who has declined to submit to genetic testing;
    (5) shown by clear and convincing evidence to be  the  father  of  the

  previous proceeding and the order has not been reversed or vacated.
    (c) Upon finding, after notice and opportunity to be  heard,  that  an
  obligor owes a duty of support, the tribunal shall issue a support order
  directed  to  the obligor and may issue other orders pursuant to section
  580-305 of this article.
