Legal Question in Family Law in California

Unreasonable Court Order

Can a Superior Court Judge order a husband/father of 2, to pay his wife $1200.00 a month spousal support (no abuse and no adultry involved) and also order him to pay $1500.00 a month child support when he only makes $3600.00 a month. This will drop by $600.00 a month when he changes his exemptions for dependants on his taxes to 1 as also ordered by the court. Father has been fighting for full custody. No final decision has been made by the court yet.
