Child support order modifying support for daughter from second marriage was not “preexisting order” within meaning of child support statute and, thus, father was not entitled to adjustment in his gross income based on that order for purposes of calculating his child support for son from first marriage, even though final order modifying child support as to daughter was entered before final order modifying child support as to son; initial child support order for son was filed at time of divorce in father’s first marriage, and initial child support order for daughter was not filed until divorce in second marriage.
