Can a request to index an order requiring the father to pay the child’s medical costs have increased significantly over the course of 14 years?

[9] The request to index the order does not amount to an exclusive remedy for the increased costs over 14 years. The boy’s needs (in dollars) would have increased very substantially in 14 years due both to inflation and the expenses for a teenager being considerably more than for an infant. To a point, judicial notice can be taken of those things; to the point, certainly, of finding that a material change of circumstances has occurred in the form of the boy’s changing needs. With respect, I disagree with the dicta in the case of Baker v. Baker, cited above, in so far as it suggests that inflation and changing needs over the years cannot, by themselves, amount to a material change so as to trigger a variation. Fourteen years is such a long time that it probably is an exception to the general rejection of passing time, alone, creating automatic grounds for variation. Moreover, the changing needs of the child are coupled with a very marked change in the ability of the father to pay.
