SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
[¶ 16.] I write specially to point out that upon proper application, the referee can consider alternatively the value of the obligor’s interest in this family owned business for the purpose of support payments. See SDCL 25-7-6.5 (providing that “[i]f a child’s needs are not being met through the income of the parents, assets shall be considered. If the parents have savings, life insurance, or other assets in amounts unrelated to income, these holdings shall be considered. The parents’ ability to borrow may be used to determine financial ability.”).
