BACKGROUND

Ross elected to proceed on a clerk’s transcript. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.121.) This is referred to as a “judgment roll” appeal. (Allen v. Toten (1985) 172 Cal.App.3d 1079, 1082; Krueger v. Bank of America (1983) 145 Cal.App.3d 204, 207.) The limited record establishes that in November 2009, the trial court ordered Ross to pay $2,230 per month in child support for two minor children, $542 per month for child care expenses, and $25 per month in arrears. In February 2012, the trial court ordered Ross to pay $2,004 per month in child support, $421 per month for child care expenses, half of all reasonable uninsured health care expenses, and $100 per month in child support arrears. The trial court also ordered the mother to pay for child care using checks and to provide Ross with copies of those cancelled checks on a quarterly basis. Ross subsequently filed a motion to modify child support. The trial court heard the motion on April 4, 2013, and took the matter under submission; on June 3, 2013, among other orders, the trial court ordered Ross to pay $1,675 per month in child support, $421 per month for child care expenses, and $100 per month in child support arrears.…
