with a registration for enforcement or registration for modification under subch. VI, or may be filed as a separate proceeding. (1t) A request to determine which is the controlling child support order must be accompanied by a copy of every child support order issued for the obligor and child that is in effect and the applicable record of payments. The requesting party shall give each party whose rights may be affected by a determination of which child support order controls notice of the request for that determination. (2) The tribunal that issued the order that is controlling under sub. (1c), (1m), or (1r) has continuing jurisdiction to the extent provided in s. 769.205 or 769.206. (3) A tribunal of this state that determines by order which child support order is controlling under sub. (1m) (a) or (b) or (1r), or that issues a new child support order that is controlling under sub. (1m) (c), shall state in that order all of the following: (a) The basis upon which the tribunal made its determination. (b) The amount of prospective support, if any. (c) The total amount of consolidated arrears and accrued interest, if any, under all of the orders after all payments made are credited as provided by s. 769.209. (4) Within 30 days after the issuance of an order determining which child support order is controlling, the party that obtained the order shall file a certified copy of the order with each tribunal that had issued or registered an earlier child support order. Failure of the party obtaining the order to file a certified copy of the order as required by this subsection subjects the party to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises, but that failure has no effect on the validity or enforceability of the controlling child support order. (5) An order that has been determined to be the controlling child support order, or a judgment for consolidated arrears of support and interest, if any, made under this section, must be recognized in proceedings under this chapter.
