(a) Applicability. The Guidelines apply to all children born in or out of wedlock and all adopted children.

(c) Other Financial Obligations. The child support obligation has priority over all other financial obligations.
(d) Receiving Support. The Guidelines do not prohibit the custodial parent from receiving child or spousal support.
(e) Other Children. The court shall account for the obligation to support other children as defined in Guideline 4(c)(1)(B).
