Either party may file an application with the court to adjust the remaining child support amount to reflect the reduction in the number of dependent children. For the purposes of this section, "unallocated" means a child support amount for the benefit of multiple children that does not specify the amount of child support for each child.

Either party may file an application with the court to adjust the remaining child support amount to reflect the reduction in the number of dependent children. For the purposes of this section, "allocated" means a child support amount for the benefit of multiple children that specifies the amount of support for each child as ordered by the court.
