Marriage of Horgan
-
Wife appeals from a judgment which set the amount of support to be paid by husband to wife as temporary child and spousal support during pendency of the dissolution action and as permanent post judgment child support. She contends the trial court acted in excess of its jurisdiction by retroactively modifying the temporary support; alternatively, it abused its discretion by reducing the support amount retroactively. Further, she contends the trial court abused its discretion by failing to take into account husband’s wealth and substantial assets, rather than just his income, in setting child support. We agree the retroactive modification of child and spousal support exceeded the trial court’s jurisdiction. As to post judgment child support, no abuse of discretion has been demonstrated.
