| | Duty to Support Children in Multiple Households |
If the obligor in a modification suit has a duty to support children in more than one household and the court applies the child support guidelines in setting the modified amount of support, the court must apply the percentage guidelines that apply to parents who have a duty to support children in more than one household
Birth of another child.
Depending on the facts of a given case, the birth of another child to the obligor may or may not constitute a material and substantial change in circumstances justifying a reduction in existing child support orders
Increase in Obligee's Income
An increase in the obligee's income after rendition of the support order may constitute a material and substantial change in circumstances justifying modification of the support order. Whether an increase in the obligee's income will justify a decrease in the obligor's support obligation will necessarily depend on the circumstances of the given case.
