Heading: there is substantial and competent evidence to support the trial court's consideration of leroy's overtime wages.

Text: In its decision dated March 1, 1991, the trial court found that Leroy's gross earnings of $30,562.43 for 1988 and $34,225.99 for 1989, apparently included overtime wages. The trial court calculated that Leroy's annual wages as of December 1990, when the trial was completed, were $22,269.52 on the basis of a forty hour week. In awarding spousal maintenance, the trial court concluded that Leroy had earned income of at least $1,855.79 per month, and more with overtime. The trial court also found that Leroy would receive $2,115.53 per month from his military pension. Although it is not clear whether the trial court relied on the possibility of Leroy earning wages for overtime, if the trial court did so, there is substantial and competent evidence to support a finding that Leroy could earn additional wages from overtime work.
