What is the test for abuse of authority when assessing the credibility of a witness?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Shia v. Shia (In re Marriage of Shia), B286864 (Cal. App. 2019):

" 'The appropriate test for abuse of discretion is whether the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason. When two or more inferences can reasonably be deduced from the facts, the reviewing court has no authority to substitute its decision for that of the trial court.' " (Gonzalez v. Munoz (2007) 156 Cal.App.4th 413, 420.) "We may not substitute our assessment of the credibility of a witness in place of the credibility assessment of the trial court." (In re Ana C. (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 1317, 1329 (Ana C.).)
