The court
held that the Superior Court has subject matter jurisdiction to
modify child support awards. The court distinguished between lack
of subject matter jurisdiction and improper exercise of statutory
authority to modify child support orders. The Superior Court always
has subject matter jurisdiction over modificiation claims, but it
does not always have authority to grant modification. For example,
the Superior Court's authority to modify support orders does not
extend to modifications precluded by a divorce decree.
