Marriage of Uffelman
In this marital dissolution action, appellant Craig C. Uffelman challenges the trial courts order of September 14, 2007, requiring him to pay temporary spousal support of $6,907 per month to respondent Jeannine Black Uffelman and temporary child support of $2,690 per month. Craig[1] argues that the trial court erred in basing the support awards on the finding that he has a monthly income of $29,416, which includes his base salary of $6,500 per month and his bonus income. According to Craig, his future bonus income is unpredictable, and therefore the trial court should have (1) considered only his base salary in calculating his monthly support obligation; and (2) ordered him to pay Jeannine and the parties minor child a fixed percentage of his future bonuses when he receives them, pursuant to the decision in In re Marriage of Ostler & Smith (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 33 (Ostler & Smith). For the reasons stated below, we determine that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in awarding temporary spousal support and temporary child support, and therefore Court affirm the order.
