Issues: Appellant's Statement of the Issues:
Did the District Court err when it dismissed the child support action against Andrew based upon genetic tests that excluded him as the child's biological father?

Appellee's Statement of the Issues:
The Child Support Enforcement Agency should not be allowed to raise issues in its brief on appeal that were not raised in its motion for reconsideration to the trial court.
Andrew Rydberg may raise non-paternity as an affirmative defense in a child support action even though the statute of limitations may prevent him in a paternity action.
