(6) (a) Except as provided in Subsection (6)(b), the court may consider any amount that an incapacitated adult child can contribute to the child's support and use the amount to justify a reduction in the amount of support ordered. (b) If the case described in Subsection (6)(a) involves more than one child, the reduction may not be greater than the effect of reducing the total number of children by one. (7) (a) The base combined child support obligation table provides combined child support obligations for up to six children. (b) If a case involves more than six children, the court may add additional amounts to the base child support obligation shown in the base combined child support obligation table. (c) Unless rebutted by Subsection 81-6-202(3), the court or administrative agency may not order an amount less than the amount that would be ordered for up to six children. (8) (a) If the combined adjusted gross income exceeds the highest level specified in the base combined child support obligation table, the court shall order an appropriate and just amount of child support on a case-by-case basis, except that the court may not order an amount that is less than the highest level specified in the table for the number of children due child support. (b) There is no maximum limit on the base child support award that a court may order using the child support tables. (9) The amount shown in a child support table is the child support amount for the total number of children not an amount per child. (10) For all worksheets, income and child support award figures are rounded to the nearest dollar.
