Sua Sponte, with a Side of Suggestion

Spector v. Spector, No. C084628 (D3 Jun. 4, 2018)

A family court in San Joaquin County overseeing the divorce of Rachelle and Phil Spector* ordered Phil to pay a certain amount of temporary spousal support. But after Phil’s attorney told the judge (in an email, cc Rachelle) that the ordered support exceeded his cash flow the Court decided to “sua sponte” reconsider and reduce the obligation. Wife objects—and because support orders are immediately appealable—appeals.
