There are various, numerous affirmative defenses to any complaint. They are usually set forth in the civil procedure statute for each state. For instance, in Wisconsin, they are listed in Section 802.02(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes. In many cases, they must be plead initially (in the answer) or they are waived. Of course, most of the time the answer can be amended for a period of time as well.
