In re Marriage of JENNY B337875 CHAY and DAVID UNG. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 19LBFL01666)

JENNY CHAY,

Respondent,

v.

DAVID UNG,

Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Carla L. Garrett, Judge. Affirmed.

David Ung, in pro. per., for Appellant.

Jenny Chay, in pro. per., for Respondent. ______________________________

Appellant David Ung (Ung) appeals from the family court’s postjudgment order denying his request to modify child support, custody, and visitation. Because Ung has failed to establish the court abused its discretion, we affirm.

I. BACKGROUND1 The family court entered a judgment of dissolution of Ung’s marriage to respondent Jenny Chay (Chay) on July 26, 2022, followed by an amended judgment on September 6, 2023. Chay was awarded sole legal and physical custody of the parties’ two minor children. On October 20, 2023, Ung filed a request for order seeking to modify child support, custody, and visitation. At a hearing on December 6, 2023, the family court denied Ung’s request. The court noted that it had previously imputed full-time, minimum- wage income to Ung and had ordered him to pay $1,032 monthly in child support. The court found that Ung had not taken his support obligation seriously. The court observed that Ung was “able bodied” and would have to get a job if his $125,000 retirement account was insufficient to meet his obligations. The court found that Ung owed $14,664 in child support arrearages
