Stat. § 801.54(1) to create an exception to the rule to facilitate transfer of post-judgment child support cases to tribes under certain circumstances. See S. Ct. Order 07-11A, 2009 WI 63 (issued Jul. 1, 2009, eff. Jul. 1, 2009) (Roggensack, J., dissenting). Both of these orders are available on Website of the Wisconsin Supreme Court under Rules.
