1Section 3793e. 767.32 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB55-ASA1,1194,22 767.32 (1) (a) After a judgment or order providing for child support under this
3chapter or s. 48.355 (2) (b) 4., 48.357 (5m) (a), 48.363 (2), 938.183 (4), 938.355 (2) (b)
44., 938.357 (5m) (a), 938.363 (2), or 948.22 (7), maintenance payments under s.
5767.26, or family support payments under this chapter, or for the appointment of
6trustees under s. 767.31, the court may, from time to time, on the petition, motion,
7or order to show cause of either of the parties, or upon the petition, motion, or order
8to show cause of the department, a county department under s. 46.215, 46.22, or
946.23, or a county child support agency under s. 59.53 (5) if an assignment has been
10made under s. 46.261, 48.57 (3m) (b) 2. or (3n) (b) 2., 49.19 (4) (h), or 49.45 (19) or if
11either party or their minor children receive aid under s. 48.57 (3m) or (3n) or ch. 49,
12and upon notice to the family court commissioner, revise and alter such judgment or
13order respecting the amount of such maintenance or child support and the payment
14thereof, and also respecting the appropriation and payment of the principal and
15income of the property so held in trust, and may make any judgment or order
16respecting any of the matters that such court might have made in the original action,
17except that a judgment or order that waives maintenance payments for either party
18shall not thereafter be revised or altered in that respect nor shall the provisions of
19a judgment or order with respect to final division of property be subject to revision
20or modification. A Except as provided in par. (d), a revision, under this section, of
21a judgment or order with respect to an amount of child or family support may be made
22only upon a finding of a substantial change in circumstances. In any action under
23this section to revise a judgment or order with respect to maintenance payments, a
24substantial change in the cost of living by either party or as measured by the federal
25bureau of labor statistics may be sufficient to justify a revision of judgment or order

1with respect to the amount of maintenance, except that a change in an obligor's cost
2of living is not in itself sufficient if payments are expressed as a percentage of income.
