Marriage of Martinez & Rodriguez CA2/7
Max Martinez appeals from a trial court judgment that, among other things, awarded his former wife Maria Rodriguez spousal support and divided the couple’s community property. Martinez argues the trial court erred by ordering him to pay Rodriguez monthly spousal support he cannot afford to pay and by making the award retroactive. Martinez also contends substantial evidence does not support the trial court’s finding that Rodriguez’s health declined since the couple’s separation or the court’s valuation of certain community assets.
Martinez forfeited his contentions regarding retroactive support payments and Rodriguez’s health because he submitted an incomplete record on appeal that precludes meaningful review. Martinez also forfeited his arguments regarding the valuation of certain items of community property because he did not make those arguments in the trial court.
