INCREASED EXPENSES BECAUSE OF CHANGE OF RESIDENCE.** (a) If a change of residence results in increased expenses for a party having possession of or access to a child, the court may render appropriate orders to allocate those increased expenses on a fair and equitable basis, taking into account the cause of the increased expenses and the best interest of the child.
