Where father moved to modify his child-support and spousal-maintenance obligations; the District Court found that father was not forthright about his income during the dissolution proceedings and did not explain the radical change in his income in the year following the dissolution decree; and father has continually lowered his claimed monthly income as his motion has progressed to the Court of Appeals; we conclude that the District Court did not abuse its discretion when it declined to reduce father’s child-support and spousal-maintenance obligations because of an unsubstantiated claimed decrease in income.

Affirmed.
