Line 2a: Adjustment to gross income for other ordered child support being paid
DIRECTION: Enter the monthly amount of any other court or administrative order for
child support to the extent of the amounts actually being paid toward the current support
of any child not the subject of this proceeding.
An adjustment is appropriate in a proceeding to establish a child support order or
to modify the support payable under an existing order. However, the adjustment available
to the moving parent in an action to increase or decrease the support payable under an
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
2a as a result of an order in another action entered after the existing order.
A. EXAMPLE: Father pays child support of $350.00 per month under an order
(Order 1) entered prior to the judgment of dissolution of his marriage to Mother.
(1) Order 1 is modified after entry of the judgment of dissolution, and, as a result,
Father now pays child support of $450.00 per month under Order 1.
(a) In Mother's action to increase Father's support obligation under the
judgment of dissolution, Father is entitled to an adjustment (line 2a) of $450.00 per
month.
