What is the abuse of discretion standard for the admissibility of evidence in a family court case?

We review a ruling by the family court on the admissibility of evidence using the abuse of discretion standard. (People v. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1140.)

Evidence is relevant if it has "any tendency in reason to prove or
