20(1)When the Court is considering an application for a child support order and an application for a support order for a dependant who is not a child, the Court shall give priority to the support of the child in determining the applications.

20(2)If, as a result of giving priority to the support of a child, the Court is unable to make a support order for a dependant who is not a child, or the Court makes the order for the support of a dependant who is not a child in an amount that is less than it otherwise would have been, the Court shall record its reasons for doing so.

20(3)If, as a result of giving priority to the support of a child, a support order for a dependant who is not a child is not made, or the amount of the support order for a dependant who is not a child is less than it otherwise would have been, any subsequent reduction or termination of the support for the child constitutes a material change in the circumstances of the dependant who is not a child for the purposes of an application for a support order for that dependant under subsection 17(1) or 23(1), as the case may be.
