GARRARD, Judge,
concurring in result.
I concur in the result reached by the majority. If we were to consider only Indiana Code § 31-16-8-1(1), I would conclude that the trial court satisfactorily explained its decision to exclude overtime and not modify the support award. However, subsection (2) permits modification upon a showing that a party has been ordered to pay an amount that differs by more than 20% from the guideline amount and the order is more than 12 months old.
Here the previous order was entered in 1995 and the potential inclusion of overtime and bonuses would create a deviation of more than 20%. I therefore agree with the majority that the analysis it calls for is proper.
I concur in its determinations concerning attorney fees.
