COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In re the Marriage of M.R. and A.R. D085565 M.R.,

Appellant, (Super. Ct. No. 21FL001296C)

v.

A.R.,

Respondent.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Chandra Reid, Judge. Affirmed. M.R., in pro. per., for Appellant. Blair Family Law Group and Michelle L. Blair, for Respondent.

In this family law proceeding, M.R. (Mother) appeals from a January 17, 2025 order modifying child support payable by A.R. (Father). As we will explain, Mother has not provided an adequate record to allow us to review the trial court’s order, and she has therefore failed to carry her burden on

appeal to establish error. We accordingly affirm the January 17, 2025 order modifying child support. I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Mother, who is representing herself in this appeal, has provided an incomplete appellate record, and she has included only very limited citations to the record in her appellate briefing. Despite those deficiencies, we have attempted to extract the relevant factual and procedural background from the record before us. The parties were married in 2016 and have one minor child. A judgment of dissolution was entered on November 23, 2022, which included an order that Father pay child support in a specific monthly amount. The order at issue in this appeal appears to arise from a request by Mother for an order modifying the amount of child support. Mother’s request for an order modifying the amount of child support is not included in the appellate record. However, we infer from other items in the appellate record that Mother filed the request on December 26, 2023. Based on minute orders appearing in the record, it appears that the trial court held proceedings on Mother’s request to modify child support on October 16, 2024, and January 17, 2025. The proceedings on both days were reported, and according to the relevant minute orders, both parties were sworn and testified on those dates. Further, both parties were represented by counsel, and exhibits were introduced. The appellate record does not include reporter’s transcripts from either the October 16, 2024 hearing or the January 17, 2025 hearing. It also does not appear to include all of the relevant exhibits.
