_____________________________________________

Following the dissolution of his marriage to Maria Pabianova (Mother), Fang Huang (Father) appeals from an order modifying his child support obligation. Father argues that by imputing to him $6,515 in monthly income, the family court failed to properly place the burden on Mother to show he had the ability and opportunity to earn the imputed amount. We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion and affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 1. Original Child Support Order Mother and Father were married in 2010. They have two minor children. During the marriage, the couple supported their family with earned income. In October 2014, the couple separated. In February 2015, Father petitioned for dissolution of marriage. A marital settlement agreement provided for equal custody and equal time share of the children, and Father’s monthly child support obligation of $886. Father’s $886 payment was a statutory guideline amount (DissoMaster1 ) based on Father’s monthly income of $14,219 and Mother’s monthly income of $7,083. On January 26, 2018, the family court entered a stipulated judgment of dissolution. The judgment required

1 The DissoMaster is a privately created computer program used to calculate child support pursuant to the algebraic formula set forth in Family Code section 4055 as the guideline amounts. (In re Marriage of Schulze (1997) 60 Cal.App.4th 519, 523, fn. 2.) It appears from the record that the family court consistently calculated Father’s child support obligations in accordance with the statute’s mandatory formula, and Father does not contend otherwise.
