Appellant,

Respondent. BY 01UTY No. 44263 -9 -I

UNPUBLISHED OPINION

HUNT, J. — John Eric Nelson appeals the trial court' s modified child support order 

## requiring himto paypostsecondary educational supportforhis sonand daughter. He argues that the trial court ( 1) 

### erred in ordering him to pay retroactive postsecondary educational support 

### when the children failed to comply with the RCW 26.19.090 conditions ( which, he argues, required that he be given documentation of proof of enrollment, class registration, and grades); 2) 

## incorrectly computed his October 2009 through November 2012 income for support purposes; and (3) failed to hold his former wife, Connie Louise Acker, in contempt of court for
noncompliance with a subpoena duces tecum.

### 1 Nelson further claims that the Washington State 

### Division ofChild Support (DCS) erred when it placed a lien on his property and filed a " Notice

of Report to Credit Bureaus "2 

### while this case was pending on appeal. We affirm.


### 1 Nelson also assertsthat he is entitled reimbursementofhis postsecondary supportpayments for his daughter and should be allowedto remove herfrom his health insurance plan after she legally emancipated herselffrom him.
2 Br. ofAppellant at 17.No. 44263 -9 -II FACTS On December 8, 1997, John Eric Nelson and Connie Louise Acker dissolved their 

### marriage, and the trial court entered an order of support for their daughter, born February 11, 1991, and their son, born March 8, 1994. 

### This child support order contained a postsecondary 

### education provision .allowing a request for postsecondary education support before a child reached the age ofmajority or graduated from high school,

3. 12 TERMINATION OF SUPPORT Support shall be paid: 

### U]ntil the child(ren) reach(es) the age of 18 or as long as the child(ren) remain(s) enrolled in high school, whichever occurs last, except as otherwise provided below in Paragraph 3. 13. 3. 13 POST SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT 

### The rightto petition for post secondary support is reserved, provided thatthe right is exercised before support terminates as set forth in paragraph 3. 12. Sealed Clerk' s Papers (CP) at 8.

On March 7, 2012, Acker petitioned for modification of child support. Acker asked the 

### trial court to extend Nelson's support obligation beyond their son's eighteenth birthday and to 

### orderNelsonto paypostsecondary educational supportforhim. Ackerasserted: The child is still in high school and there is a need to extend support beyond the 

### child's 18th birthday. 

### And] the child is in fact dependent and is relying upon the parents for the reasonable necessities of life. 

### He] is planning on attending college or a trade school and needs support while attending. CP at 14. 

### On April 19, Nelson filed an Amendment to Washington State Child Support Schedule Worksheet and Financial Declaration in response to petition for modification of child support. He asked the trial court to modify the order of child support

### byNo. 44263 -9 -II



## g]ranting newchild support calculations from Worksheetdated April 2, 2012 due to recent budget cuts with Petitioner' s employer (United States Post Office) that 

### resulted in reduction of weekly hours from 18 hours per week to 15 hours per week as a part-time flex clerk. CP at 17.

On August 3, the trial court held a child support modification 

### hearing. Nelson argued that he should not have to pay postsecondary educational support because ( 1) postsecondary
educational support is not mandatory; ( 2) 

### requiring him to pay postsecondary educational 

### support would cause him a financial hardship because his employer, the United States Postal Service ( USPS), guaranteed him only 15 work hours per week; and ( 3) the trial court had miscalculated his income in 2009. 

### Acker disagreed with Nelson's contention that an order requiring him to pay 

### postsecondary educational supportwould cause him afinancial hardship as aresultofhis limited hours at USPS:

I want to stress to the Court that he' s —

### he says he' s only guaranteed so many hours, but the record shows ... 

### that he's making more than his guaranteed 15 hours, 18 hours. 

### He's going out; he's searching for extra hours atthe post office, and he's making more than he's saying. Report of Proceedings (RP) at 6. The trial court reviewed evidence of Nelson' s wages at USPS,

which revealed that 

### Nelson had made $ 55,440.46 in gross wages in 2011. The trial court determined that Nelson had the means to contribute to his son' s college education. In response 

### to Nelson's claim that the trial court allegedly erred in calculating his income in 2009, the trial

court informed Nelson that he had " slept on [his] rights." RP at 13.

The trial court found Nelson' s arguments unpersuasive. The trial court determined that postsecondary educational support, although not mandatory, was warranted. In making itsNo. 44263 -9 -II

determination, the trial court considered the 

### following factors: The son' s desire to attend 

### college, enrollment at Montana State University, tuition and room and board costs, and work study. The trial court also considered the education levels ofNelson, Acker, and their daughter. 

### Specifically, the trial court considered evidence that both Nelson and Acker had attended college, Nelson held a degree in criminal justice, and their daughter, a senior in college, was going to be a successful graduate of college." RP at 22. 

### The trial court (1) orally ordered Nelsonto paypostsecondary educational supportforhis 

### son and (2) providedAckerwith thefollowing instructions:

You're going to have to recalculate the child support with another work sheet, which will be the final work sheet. Once you recalculate all ofthat, run it 

### by Mr. Nelson and see ifhe'll just agree that it's what I said from the bench today. Then you don'thave to bring itback into court. Ifhe' ll sign off,thenyou cannot have to bring it in forpresentment.

On the other hand, if Mr. Nelson refuses to sign the order — we need an order and work sheets —

### thenyou'll need to bring itback in forpresentment. RP at 33. On November 2, 2012, the trial court entered a written Order on Modification 

### of Child Support, which required Nelson to contribute to his son's postsecondary education. Nelson appeals. ANALYSIS I. FAILURE To FOLLOWAPPELLATE RULES A. Inadequate Citation to Record At the outset, we note that throughout his brief of appellant, Nelson fails to provide
record cites as required 

### by RAP 10.3( a)( 5), ( 6): 

### He provides no page numbers to identify which pages ofthe clerk' s papers or report of proceedings support his factual assertions; and most of the documents to which he refers are documents outside the record before us on appeal. Nelson
4No. 44263 -9 -II



### also makes several arguments in his brief that involve facts outside of the record before us on appeal; in fact, most ofthe documents appended to Nelson's briefofappellant are not part ofthe appellate record in violation of RAP 10.3( a)(8) ( 

### an appendix to a briefmay not include materials

not contained in the record on review without permission from the appellate court); 

### City of 

### Moses Lake v. Grant County BoundaryReview Bd.,104 Wn..App.388, 391, 15 P.3d 716 (2001). Nelson also frequently refersto exhibits in his brief's 148 — page appendixto supporthis legal and factual claims instead of providing the required specific cite to a statute, court case, or record
page. RAP 10.3( a)(5), ( 6). 

### A party seeking appellate review has the burden ofproviding us with all evidence in the
record relevant to the issue before us. RAP 9.2(b); Starczewski v. Unigard Ins. 

### Grp., 61 Wn. 

### App. 267, 276, 810 P.2d 58 ( 1991). Without the trial record, . we cannot review challenged

evidence in the context of the rest of the evidence presented. Allemeier v. Univ. of Wash., 42 Wn.

### App. 465, 473, 712 P.2d 306 ( 1985).

### Indus., 72 Wn.App. 522, 525, 864 P.2d 996 ( 1994). 

### Such isthe case here: Without providing citations to the record, Nelson contends thatthe trial court abused its discretion in ( 1) 

### ordering him to pay his daughter' s postsecondary educational support and to provide her with medical coverage after she legally emancipated herself from him; (

### 2) failing to suspend postsecondary educational support when his son and

5No. 44263 -9 -II



### Acker stated she did not have the documentation that she was required to bring to the November 

## 2012hearingperthe subpoenaducestecum. " 3 Br.ofAppellantat3. 3 The record before us reflects that at the modification hearing, the trial court made no determination regarding ( 1) the daughter' s alleged legal emancipation, ( 2) the son or the daughter' s compliance with RCW 26. 19.090, or (3) Acker' s compliance with a subpoena duces tecum. Nelson fails to provide citations to the record for these findings. 

### Accordingly, we decline to review his arguments. RAP 10.3( a)(5), ( 6); 

### Cowiche Canyon Conservancy v. Bosley, 118 Wn.2d 801, 809, 828 P.2d 549 ( 1992). To support his first argument, Nelson references 

### exhibits from the appendixto his briefofappellant. As we have previously noted,these exhibits are not part of the record on appeal; thus he cites them in violation of RAP 10.3( a)(8). We 

### further note, however, that the exhibits show only that the daughter legally changed her name, not thatshe legally emancipated herselffrom Nelson.

Without citation to the record, Nelson contends thatthe trial court abused its discretion in 

### ordering him to pay retroactive postsecondary education support for his son and daughter based on " speculation" that his son and daughter would attend college. Nelson also asserts that ( 1) he was entitled to receive certain documentation under RCW 26. 19.090; (2) Acker failed to provide 

### him with this documentation for his daughter from February 17, 2009, to September 2010, and for his son from March 7, 2012 to October 12, 2012; and ( 3) it was " a violation of RCW 26. 19.090 and the noncustodial parental rights" when " 

### the court ordered [ him] to retro pay 

### postsecondary education support during these time periods" without first determining "that the children were indeed attending college." Br. ofAppellant at 15. Nelson provides no meaningful argument, citation to the record, or authority to support his claim. 

## Accordingly, we do not further address this argument. RAP 

### 10.3( a)( 5), ( 6); 

### Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, 118 Wn.2d at 809. 

### In contrast, the record shows that the trial court ordered the son's postsecondary educational support payments to begin 

### July 2012. 

### In making this determination,the trial court 

### properly considered his enrollment at Montana State University and the date Acker filed her petition for modification. Further, atthe modification hearing, Nelson conceded that his sonwas enrolled at Montana State University:

THE COURT: 

### Did you want to make an argument concerning your younger child] even 

### being in college? I kind of read between the lines that you wanted more proof. MR. NELSON: Well, there' s — I mean, [Acker] has the enrollment, Your Honor. RP at 18 -19. 

### Without citing authority or supporting legal analysis, Nelson asserts that, based on RCW 26. 19.090, " 

### the court cannot adequately consider the factors of this RCW if the noncustodial parent is not given proper documentation of: Proofofenrollment, class registration, and grades." Br. of Appellant at 14. Nelson again argues that Acker failed to provide him with certain 

### documentation forhis daughter from February 17, 2009 to September2010, and forhis sonfrom March 7, 2012 to October 12, 2012. Nelson fails to provide citations to the record for these findings and offers no legal authority to support his argument. 

### Accordingly, we decline to 6No. 44263 -9 -II

review his argument. RAP 10.3( a)(5), ( 6); 

### Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, 118 Wn.2d at 809. But even ifwe were to review this contention, his argument would fail. RCW 26. 19.090(2) sets 

### forth a non -

exhaustive list of factors a trial court may consider in ordering postsecondary educational support. 

### The statute does not state that the adequacy of the trial court's consideration of the factors under RCW 26. 19.090(2) depends on whether the noncustodial parent received " proof of enrollment, class registration, and grades," Br. ofAppellant at 14, and 

### we can find no authority to support such aproposition.)

To the extent that Nelson' s argument refers to RCW 26. 19.090(4), we decline to review this issue. RCW 26. 19.090(4) states: The child shall also make available all academic records and grades to both parents as a condition of receiving postsecondary educational support. Each 

### parent shall have full and equal access to the postsecondary educational records as provided in RCW 26.09.225. RCW 26.09.090(4). The record before us on appeal does not show that the trial court made a 

### determination as to whether the son or daughter made their academic records or grades available 

### to Nelson. The record does reveal, however,thatthe modification hearing occurred on August 3, 

### 2012, and atthis hearing thetrial court reviewed evidence thatthe son was enrolled to begin his freshman year at Montana State 

### University. 

### At the time ofthe modification hearing, the son's freshman year academic records and grades would not have been available for review.

Nelson contends that from October 2009 through November 2012, the trial court 

### incorrectly calculated his income for child support purposes. Nelson contends that under Engrossed Substitute H. B. 1794, 60th 

### Leg., Reg. Sess. ( Wash. 2009), the trial court should not have considered his income from his second job. ( 

### We note that during the August 3, 2012 

### modification hearing, the trial court addressed Nelson's contention that the bill precluded the trial court from considering his,income from his second job. The trial court asked Nelson if he 

### had read the bill carefully and reminded him thatthe statute (RCW 26.19.071) had a " minimum hourly weekly requirement." RP at 7.) 

### The appellate record does not contain any report of proceedings from a 2009 modification 

### hearing. Nelson provides no citation to the record to support his claim. 

### Accordingly, we do not further address this argument. RAP 10.3( a)(5), ( 6); Cowiche Canyon 

### Conservancy, 118 Wn.2d at 809. ( Again, the record shows the contrary: The 

### trial court directly addressed Nelson's contention at the August 3, 2012 modification hearing. The trial court informed Nelson that he had " slept on [ his] rights" 

### by not bringing the court's alleged miscalculation in 2009 before the court 

### by a motion of reconsideration or on appeal. RP at 14 -15. 

### Further,the trial court ruledthat Nelson's gross monthly income would not include his income from his second job at A & J Market because it appeared to the court " to be speculative and part time. And the preponderance of [Nelson' s] income is based on his career right now, which is with the USPS." RP at 35.) 

### Nelson further contends that the trial court violated H.B.1794 in not removing his " extra hours and annual leave at the USPS" from his income calculation. Br. of Appellant at 16. He argues that "[ i]fthejudge ordered A & J Market to be removed from the income calculations, he should have also ordered the extra hours outside of Cascade Locks and his annual leave to also be removed from the income calculations." Br. of Appellant .at 16. Nelson' s argument
7No. 44263 - 9 -II B. Unsupported Argument In addition, the facts section of Nelson' s brief includes argument in violation of RAP 10.3( a)( 5), which requires that the statement of the case be "[ a] fair statement of the facts and
procedure relevant to the issues presented for review, without argument." RAP 10.3( a)(5) emphasis added). 

### Pro se litigants are expected to comply with the Rules of Appellate 

## Procedure. State Farm Mut.Auto Ins.Co. v.Avery, 114Wn.App.299, 310, 57 P.3d 300 (2002). AndNelson's brieffalls well belowthestandards envisioned by RAP 10.3. misconstrues the trial court's reasoning for excluding his income from his second job at A & J Market. H.B. 1794 was codified as RCW 26. 19.071, which states in relevant part: 4) Income sources excluded from gross monthly income. 

### The following income and resources shall be disclosed but shall not be included in gross income: i) 

### Overtime or income from secondjobs beyondforty hoursper weekaveraged over a twelve -

month period worked to provide for a current family's needs, to 

### retire past relationship debts, orto retire child support debt,when the court finds the income will cease when the party has paid offhis orher debts. RCW 26. 19. 071(4)( i) ( emphasis added). 

### Under RCW 26.19.071, income from a secondjob beyondforty hoursper weekshall be excluded from gross income. RCW 26. 19.071( 4)( i). At the August 3, 2012 modification 

### hearing, 

### the trial court reminded Nelson of this minimum hourly weekly requirement. Nonetheless, the trial court ruled that Nelson's gross monthly income should not include his income from his second job at A & J Market because it appeared to the court "to be speculative and part time. And the preponderance of his income is based on his career right now, which is with the USPS." RP at 35. 

### Contrary to Nelson's assertion,the trial court did not rely on RCW 26. 19.071( 4) in making its determination to exclude his second income. Nelson provides no 

### meaningful argument, citation to the record, or legal authority for his proposition that his annual leave or the additional hours he,works at USPS outside of his guaranteed 15 hours per week should be excluded from his income. 

### Accordingly, we decline to review this argument. RAP 10.3( a)( 5), ( 6); 

### Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, 118 Wn.2d at 809, 828. 

### Finally, Nelson contends, without citing to the record, that the DCS violated his " rights and responsibilities" when it placed a lien on his property and filed a Notice ofReport to Credit Bureaus without scheduling a 

### hearing on reasonable cause according to RCW 26. 18. 050. Br. of 

### Appellant at 17. The record before us shows thatthe trial courtmade no determination regarding the DCS' s alleged misconduct. Nelson fails to provide citation to the record for these findings. 

### Accordingly, we decline to review his argument. RAP 10.3( a)( 5), ( 6); Cowiche Canyon 

### Conservancy, 118 Wn.2d at 809.
8No. 44263 -9 -II



## Nevertheless,we mayaddress an improperly briefed legal orfactual issue ifthe basis for the claim is apparent. State v. 

### Young, 89 Wn.2d 613, 625, 574 P.2d 1171 ( 1978) ( quoting DeHear v. Seattle Post - Intelligencer, 60 Wn.2d 122, 126, 372 P.2d 193 ( 1962) ( basis for assigned error "` apparent without further research "')). Furthermore, we are to interpret the Rules
ofAppellate Procedure " 

### liberally ... to promotejustice and facilitate the decision ofcases on the
merits. Cases and issues will not be determined on the basis of compliance or noncompliance

with these rules except in compelling circumstances wherejustice demands." RAP 1. 2( a). Such is the case here to a limited extent. 

### Nelson's briefmakes reasonably clear his challenge to the trial court's order that he pay postsecondary educational support for his son. The record before us on appeal is also sufficient 

### for our review. The rest ofNelson's apparent claims, however, are so lacking in both legal and factual supportthat we cannot address them. Accordingly, we confine our reviewtowhetherthe 

### trial court abused its discretion when it ordered Nelson to pay postsecondary educational support 

### for his son; in doing so, we consider only those arguments for which we find support in the record or in the law.

9No. 44263 -9 -II II. POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT FOR SON 

### Nelson contends that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering him to pay postsecondary educational support for his 

### son4 because ( 1) postsecondary educational support is not mandatory, and (2) an order requiring him to pay postsecondary educational support would 

### cause him afinancial hardship. We disagree. A. Standard of Review 

### The trial court has broad discretion to order support for postsecondary education. Childers v. Childers, 89 Wn.2d 592, 601, 575 P.2d 201 ( 1978); 

### see also In re Marriage of Newell, 117 Wn.

### App. 711, 718, 72 P.3d 1130 (2003); 

### In re Marriage ofKelly,85 Wn.App. 785, 795, 934 P.2d 1218 ( 1997). 

### A trial court abuses that discretion when its decision is manifestly

unreasonable or based on untenable grounds or reasons. 

### In re Marriage ofFiorito, 112 Wn. App. 657, 664, 50 P. 3d 298 (2002); 

### Newell, 117 Wn.App. at 718.


## 4 Nelson argues that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering him to pay postsecondary educational support for his son and his daughter. Although the November 12, 2012 child support 

### order required Nelson to pay postsecondary educational support for both children, the record shows that Acker petitioned for postsecondary educational support for only the son; and the August 3, 

### 2012 modification hearing focused on the appropriateness of awarding only this support. 

### Apparently the trial court had previously considered the appropriateness of ordering . 

### postsecondary educational support for the daughter, the older child, and was simply reiterating that earlier decision in its November 12, 2012 child support order when it stated, " With respect to [the daughter], he' ll continue to make those payments just as he' s been," RP at 36, and, " One child] is about to finish, however, so the obligation with respect to [ his daughter] is —is finite now." RP at 33. 

### The record on appeal, however, does not contain a report of proceedings for a hearing 

### during whichthe trial court determined the appropriateness ofpostsecondary educational support for the daughter or an order for such child support. 

### Without the trial record, we cannot review 

### challenged evidence inthe context ofthe rest ofthe evidence presented. Allemeier, 42 Wn.App. at 473. 

### An insufficient record on appeal generally precludes our review of the alleged errors. Bulzomi, 72 Wn.

### App. at 525. 

### Accordingly, we decline to review whether the court abused its discretion in awarding postsecondary educational supportforthe daughter. 10No. 44263 -9 -II 

### B. Findings Support Postsecondary Educational SupportAward 1. RCW 26. 19.090(2) factors RCW 26. 19.090(2) gives the trial court discretion to determine whether to order support 

### for postsecondary educational expenses, and it provides a non - exhaustive list of factors a trial

court can consider: 

### The court shall exercise its discretion when determiningwhetherandforhowlong 

### to award postsecondary educational support based upon consideration of factors that include but are not limited to the 

### following: Age of the child; the child' s needs; the expectations of the parties for their children when the parents were together; the child' s prospects, desires, aptitudes, abilities or disabilities; the 

### nature ofthe postsecondary education sought; and the parents' level ofeducation, 

### standard ofliving,and current and future resources. Also to be considered are the amount and type of support that the child would have been afforded ifthe parents had stayed together. RCW 26. 19.090(2).

The record before us on appeal supports the trial court' s conclusion that the postsecondary educational support award was appropriate. The trial court reviewed evidence of 

### the son's enrollment at Montana State University and considered his age, his tuition and room and board costs, and his work study. The trial court also considered Nelson's, Acker's, andtheir daughter' s level ofeducation, and their expectation to provide their son with a college education:

T]here' s a 

### history of college in your 

### family. That's one of the things the Court 

### looks at, is how were the children raised, were they raised in an expectation of going to college, is college education something the 

### family values. In this case clearly you do. You, yourself, have a college education. Your ex - wife has something of a college education. [ 

### Your daughter] is going to be a successful graduate of college and [ your son] has shown enough interest to at least start college. So we have to strike that offthe list. If you were —

### if everybody was blue collar and the kids were raised with the expectation they wouldn' t go to college, that would be different. It is not 

### mandatory,but I am goingto rule that [your son] be given money.

11No. 44263 -9 -II

RP at 22. 

### We presume thatthetrial court considered all evidence before it in fashioning an order on postsecondary educational expenses. 

### Kelly, 85 Wn.

### App. at 793. Although the trial court did not make extensive findings on the record as to each factor, RCW 26. 19.090 sets forth no requirement that the trial court explicitly consider the factors on the record. 

### In re Marriage of Morris, 176 Wn. 

### App. 893, 906, 309 P.3d 767 ( 2013); 

### In re Marriage ofCota, 177 Wn.App. 527, 537, 312 P.3d 695 ( 2013). Moreover, the record before us shows that the trial court 

### properly consideredthe RCW 26.19.090(2) factors. 2. Nelson's abilityto pay 

### Nelson next contends that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering him to pay postsecondary education support because this order would cause him financial 

### hardship. To 

### support his contention, he cites Golay v. Golay, in which the Washington Supreme Court noted that an order requiring a divorced fatherto pay for his daughter's college education should be based upon his "` station in life. "'5 

### Br. ofAppellant at6 (quoting Golayv. Golay,35 Wn.2d 122, 123 -24, 210 P.2d 1022 ( 1949)). 

### In reversing the trial court's modified child support order, the 

### Supreme Court considered thatthe father could "scarcely spare any money from his own needs." Golay, 35 Wn.2d at 124. Such is not the case here, however.



### 5 Nelson cites this case and makes his related argument in the facts section of his brief, in violation of RAP 10.3( a)(5).

12No. 44263 -9 -II Here, the trial court ( 1) reviewed evidence of Nelson's actual income; (2) implied that, 

### unlike the father in Golay, Nelson had the means to contribute to his son's college education; 

### and (3) ruledthat Nelson's financial hardship argument lacked merit. Thus,the record before us 

### shows thatthe trial court properly considered whether Nelson hadthe meansto contribute to his
son' s college education. 

### Addressing Nelson's contention that the USPS guaranteed him only 15 hours per week, the trial court stated:

Now, [Nelson] argues that the postal service is under the gun to maybe even close offices down. 

### Nobody' s quite sure about their employment. Of 

### course, the Court's aware ofeverything in the news aboutthat. Nevertheless, the 

### way courts have to look atthis isto lookatwhateverhistoryhas been provedby a preponderance and make a determination on child support based on the history. And the 

### history is, he makes about $ 54, 000 a year. He did so in 2010. He did again in 2011.

Now, if at the end of 2012[ Nelson] 

### can prove that has been utterly incorrect, then perhaps the statute would allow him to move for modification, but in the meantime the only evidence is that that' s 

### historically what he makes. And I' ll bet he made about that in 2009 also.

In any case what I do have isjust this: Exhibit Number 2, his wages. So the social security wages are the ones we use, and that' s $ 55,440.46. 

### Fifty - five four 

### forty forty - six. Those are his gross wages out of which you' ll calculate everything else. RP at 35 -36. 

### Thus, the record before us shows that the trial court properly considered Nelson's income as a factor under RCW 26. 19.090(2) and that it also properly considered the statutory factors set forth in RCW 26. 19.090(2). 

## 6 See, e.g.,the trial court's advice to Nelson that if,atthe end of2012, he could prove thathe made significantly less than the evidence atthe hearing revealed, he could move to modify his secondary education child support obligation.

13No. 44263 -9 -II 

### We hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Nelson to pay 

### postsecondary educational support forhis son. We affirm. A majority of the panel having determined that . this opinion will not be printed in the Washington Appellate Reports, but will be filed for public record in accordance with RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered.

We concur:
