““Both parents have mutual obligation of support, maintenance and education of children, and the degree of support required of each parent is determined by needs of the children and circumstances of those who are obliged to pay it. Further, in calculating a child support award, the court must consider the totality of all pertinent circumstances. LSA-C.C. arts. 227, 230, 231. Prudhomme v.
