The following excerpt is from Brooke M. v. Jacobs, B279447 (Cal. App. 2018):
Fundamental to appellate review is the principle that an appealed judgment or order is presumed correct. (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564.) " 'All intendments and presumptions are indulged to support it on matters as to which the record is silent, and error must be affirmatively shown. This is not only a general principle of appellate practice but an ingredient of the constitutional doctrine of reversible error.' [Citations]." (Ibid.)
