Heading: whether the chancellor erred in continuing to use the $1,200 per month child support award given in the original divorce decree.

Text: ¶ 12. We have carefully reviewed the record and the chancellor's calculation of the award of back child support. He divided the original $1,200 monthly award by five children and came up with $240 per month per child. He then took into account the amount of time that the two eldest children lived with Houck, the $200 per month that Ousterhout was ordered to pay, and the $1,500 Houck paid in consideration for the 1996 agreement. Finally, the chancellor added in one-half of medical expenses and tuition which Houck had not paid. We cannot find any error in the chancellor's determination that Houck owed Ousterhout $89,848.65 in back child support. ¶ 13. Houck's only argument against the amount of the award is that, pursuant to the 1996 agreement, he was not liable for any child support since the date of the agreement. This argument was discussed and dismissed in Issue I, above. We therefore affirm the chancellor's award of $89,848.65 in back child support.
