Heading: amount of the child support award

Text: Plaintiff also contends that the award of $45 for each minor child is not supported by the record. However, there is ample evidence in the record to support the award. Finances of both parties are in the record in sufficient detail. Needs of the children, while not stated in great detail, are apparent from the fact that the two minor children were in high school with one of them about to attend college while living at home. [11] Plaintiff had every opportunity to place more evidence regarding need for additional support in the record. In the tragic event of divorce involving children, it is rare that either party (or the children) can financially continue in the same lifestyle as when living together. Pursuant to MCLA 552.17; MSA 25.97, plaintiff may always file a petition for increased support if more is required and warranted under the circumstances. We affirm the support provisions for the two minor children.
