BRUNNER, J.

¶ 1 This case emphasizes once again the importance of finality in our justice system. In 2004, the circuit court erroneously granted Dustardy H. parental rights to Christian R. H., a child conceived via artificial insemination by Dustardy's same-sex partner, Bethany H.1 Four years later, after Dusty and Beth ended their relationship, Beth moved to void the parental rights order under WIS. STAT. § 806.07(1)(d).
