California Court of Appeal

In an dispute between two former spouses involving the meaning of 'annual bonus' as in a spousal support stipulation, arising after former husband switched jobs and his compensation package changed from simply a salary and potential annual bonus to a package that included several different components, the trial court's judgment is affirmed where an annual bonus is a discretionary payment based upon performance, and not, as former wife argued, all payments above base salary.
