The following excerpt is from Gu v. Gao (In re Marriage of Gu), B290406, B292480 (Cal. App. 2019):
We review temporary support orders for abuse of discretion, and any related factual findings for substantial evidence. (Wittgrove, supra, 120 Cal.App.4th at p. 1327.) "We cannot substitute our judgment for that of the trial court, but only determine if any judge reasonably could have made such an order. [Citation.] Our review of factual findings is limited to a determination of whether there is any substantial evidence to support the trial court's conclusions." (In re Marriage of Chandler (1997) 60 Cal.App.4th 124, 128.) An appellant bears the burden of demonstrating abuse of discretion. (Chalmers v. Hirschkop (2013) 213 Cal.App.4th 289, 299.)
