California Court of Appeal

The trial court's orders regarding custody and support are: 1) reversed in part and remanded, where: (a) as to child support, the trial court abused its discretion in imputing income to the mother without an express finding supported by substantial evidence that the imputation would benefit the children; and (b) as to spousal support, the trial court abused its discretion in making a spousal support award running from the mother under the particular circumstances of this case; but 2) affirmed in part, where substantial evidence supports the trial court's calculations of community and separate interests in discrete items of property.
