California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Williams v. Duval, B253079, c/w B256223 (Cal. App. 2015):
An appellate court reviews custody and visitation orders for abuse of discretion. (In re Marriage of Burgess (1996) 13 Cal.4th 25, 32.) Under this standard of review, an appellate court must uphold the trial court's ruling if it is correct on any basis, regardless of whether or not that basis was invoked in the trial court. (Montenegro v. Diaz (2001) 26 Cal.4th 249, 255.)
