1. “The trial court erred in failing to order respondent to pay child support pursuant to appellant’s motion to modify child support in that appellant met his burden showing a substantial change in circumstances pursuant to § 452.30.1 MO Rev Stat 1986, Supp.1991, which requires only a showing that “If the application of the guidelines and criteria set forth in Supreme Court Rule 88.01 to the financial circumstances of the parties would result in a change of child support from the existing amount by twenty percent or more, then a prima facie showing has been made of a change in circumstances so substantial and continuing as to make the present terms unreasonable” and because once a prima facie showing is made no other change in circumstances is required if a 20% change in the amount of child support to be ordered is shown.”
