Guigne

Here we hold the trial court did not abuse its discretion in setting child and spousal support amounts that exceed appellant’s total monthly income. Substantial evidence supports the conclusion that appellant’s extensive property holdings and the existence of special circumstances permit a deviation from codified support guidelines.

Appellant contends that the trial court exceeded its authority by effectively forcing him to sell his ancestral home and other inherited separate property to perpetuate an excessive level of marital spending. Appellant *1357 asserts that the trial court also erred in ordering him to make additional support payments for certain housing and educational expenses.

We modify the judgment as to the additional payments ordered, but otherwise affirm.
