California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Babakhyi v. Babakhyi, B236721 (Cal. App. 2013):
On appeal, custody and visitation orders are reviewed for abuse of discretion. Under this deferential standard, we must uphold the trial court's ruling as correct on any legitimate basis. (Raggahnti v. Reyes, supra, 123 Cal.App.4th at pp. 995-996, quoting Burgess, supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 32.)
