1. “"Our standard of review in a case involving a modification of a child-support order is well settled. Matters related to child support, including subsequent modifications of a child-support order, rest soundly within the trial court's discretion and will not be disturbed on appeal, absent a showing that the ruling is unsupported by the evidence and thus is plainly and palpably wrong. Berryhill v. Reeves , 705 So.2d 505 (Ala. Civ. App. 1997) ; Williams v. Braddy , 689 So.2d 154 (Ala. Civ. App. 1996). A child-support award may be modified upon a showing of a material change of circumstances that is substantial and continuing. Id. ; State ex rel. Shellhouse v. Bentley , 666 So.2d 517 (Ala. Civ. App. 1995)."”
