Marriage of Hamilton
This appeal involves a challenge by the former husband, Dean Hamilton (Dean), to a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued pursuant to Family Code section 6340[1] directing him to stay away from his former wife, Rosa Hamilton (Rosa),[2] the couples two children, and Rosas adult daughter. Dean contends that the court abused its discretion by denying his request for a continuance of the long-cause hearing on the application for TRO because of the unavailability of a witness that he intended to call. Dean also challenges an order imputing $300,000 in annual income to him that was used in a subsequent pendente lite order that required him to pay child support and spousal support in the monthly amounts of $4,211 and $5,781, respectively.
We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion by denying Deans request to continue the TRO hearing. We conclude further that his challenge to the order imputing income that was used in the subsequent pendente lite order requiring him to pay child and spousal support is not cognizable on appeal. Accordingly, Court affirm.
