24to an amount of child or family support may be made only upon a finding of a
25substantial change in circumstances. In any action under this section to revise a
1judgment or order with respect to maintenance payments, a substantial change in
2the cost of living by either party or as measured by the federal bureau of labor
3statistics may be sufficient to justify a revision of judgment or order with respect to
4the amount of maintenance, except that a change in an obligor's cost of living is not
5in itself sufficient if payments are expressed as a percentage of income.
