41CAVEAT: The adjustment for a child for whom there is an existing court or
administrative order shall be reduced by the amount that is actually being paid in current
support payments.
An adjustment is appropriate in a proceeding to establish a child support order or
to modify the support payable under an existing order. The adjustment is available for the
parent's natural and adopted children but not the parent's stepchildren. However, the
adjustment available to the moving parent in an action to increase or decrease the support
payable under the existing order shall be the lesser of:
(1) The adjustment to which that parent was entitled for the particular child on line
2a or 2c when the existing order was entered, or
(2) The adjustment to which that parent is entitled for the particular child on line
2c as a result of an order in another action entered after the existing order.
A. COMMENT: Children are in a parent's "primary physical custody" though
living away from the parent to attend school.
B. EXAMPLE: Mother, who has gross income (line 1) of $1,832.00 per month,
receives child support of $100.00 per month under an order for a child in her primary
physical custody who was born after dissolution of her marriage to Father.
(1) In Mother's action to increase Father's support obligation under the
judgment of dissolution, Mother is entitled to no adjustment (line 2c).
(2) In Father's action to decrease his support obligation under the judgment
of dissolution, Mother is entitled to an adjustment (line 2c) of $291.00, which is the
support obligation of Mother from the schedule of basic child support obligations
