Destination Alternate weather mins

Hi,

Trying to look for the exact rule (if any- FAA, JAR) regarding the destination alternate minimums once the flight has departed.Not the 1 Navaid/ 2 Navaid rule which applies for dispatching, but rather what happens when enroute the weather goes to actual landing minimums in the Alt airport.
Can still shoot an approach but below the alt. mins that existed during planning.Can I press on to my original destination leaving my alternate as is, or should I choose a different alternate?
Not considering ETOPS enroute alternates.

Thanks!!
