month that he has graduated from High school. Payments shall be made by HUSBAND WIFE by the
fourth day of the month. WIFE acknowledges that there are no arrears or past due am unts as of the
execution of this Agreement. It is the specific intent and agreement of the parties that the mo thly amount of
child support not change by reason of WIFE'S increased earnings by reason of her return to t e work force.
The monthly amount of the child support may be modified only upon written agreeme of the parties.
Upon the happening of the following conditions: (1) substantial reduction in earning which 0 urs by reason
of a disability in excess of 90 days duration or (2) a substantial involuntary reduction 0 either party's
earnings, not based on disability, for a period of 1 year or more, modification may be consid red. Should a
substantial involuntary reduction in earnings occur, the parties agree to re-open the dialogu regarding the
child support obligation. However, the re-opening of the dialogue shall not require that there e a change in
the amount of child support paid. For purposes of this Agreement, "substantial reduction" shall mean a
reduction of net income in excess of 25% from WIFE'S imputed gross earning capacity of orty thousand
- 10-
($40,000) dollars per year and HUSBAND'S 2003 gross earnings of $116,912. The part s stipulate and
agree that the re-opening of the dialogue shall require each of them 10 share full and ir disclosure of
current information regarding their income and earning capacity. Absent a written agreemen of the parties to
modify child support, said amount shall remain non-modifiable.
Notwithstanding the above, should Michael live with HUSBAND more than 50% of the time (as
defined by over night visits) for a period greater than 30 days, the child support may be mo if/able based on
the then exisling law. This is the only circumstance applicable for modification and will not in any way impact
WIFE'S entitlement to alimony.
HUSBAND will continue to cover the children and WIFE on his health insurance Ian as long as
legally permitted, but for no longer than the period for which WIFE receives alimony. Howe er, in the event
that WIFE is able to obtain comparable coverage through her employment, at less expense that that which
HUSBAND has, WIFE will provide coverage for the children and HUSBAND will reimburse IFE'S cost for
the insurance premium and the co-pays under the new plan. HUSBAND agrees to pay 100% of all medically
necessary unreimbursed medical expenses for the children, as well as for any mutually ag eable elective
medical care.
Should HUSBAND successfully petition to decrease child support, WIFE'S alimony ward shall be
increased dollar for dollar for the amount of the decrease. For example, if child support is dec ased by $200
per month, WIFE shall receive an additional $200 alimony.
Should WIFE successfully petition to increase child support, WIFE'S alimony shall be decreased
dollar for dollar for the amount of increase. For example, if child support is increased by $ 00 per month,
WIFE shall receive $200 less in alimony.
