until a temporary order or final hearing is held, and it may exercise its discretion in determining the amount of that support, which will not be disturbed absent an abuse of that discretion. Daniel v. Daniel, 358 Ga.App. 880, 893 (3) (856 S.E.2d 452) (2021)

(a) "In Georgia, determining each parent's monthly gross income is the first step that a court must take in calculating child support under our child support guidelines[,]" (punctuation omitted) Cousin v. Tubbs , 353 Ga. App. 873, 880 (3), 840 S.E.2d 85 (2020), and a trial court conducting a bench trial must determine and make a written finding of the monthly gross income of both the custodial and noncustodial parent.
When sitting as the fact-finder, the trial court determines whether a party's own representations regarding his income are credible, and we will not disturb the trial court's factual findings in this regard if there is any evidence to support them. Daniel v. Daniel , 358 Ga. App. 880, 886 (1) (b), 856 S.E.2d 452 (2021). The wife is correct that, despite the trial court's use of the word "temporary" in the final judgment, the court actually entered an award of permanent spousal support.
Moreover, the total child support award in the final judgment departs significantly from that proposed by the Husband. In Daniel v. Daniel , 358 Ga. App. 880, 885 (1) (a), n. 5, 856 S.E.2d 452 (2021), we noted that this statutory requirement is "not so strict" as to require reversal in all cases of noncompliance. However, Daniel is distinguishable because, there, the trial court did not deviate from the presumptive amount of child support and the worksheet was otherwise included in the appellate record.

To the extent Husband contends he did not intend to marry Wife at the time of the 2007 ceremony, the trial court discredited this testimony and resolved any conflicts in the parties’ testimony in favor of Wife. See Daniel v. Daniel , 358 Ga. App. 880, 887 (1) (b), 856 S.E.2d 452 (2021) (this Court gives "deference to the trial court's factual findings and witness credibility determinations"). Based on the evidence, we cannot say that this was clearly erroneous.
Accordingly, we discern no basis for reversing this aspect of the order. See Daniel v. Daniel , 358 Ga. App. 880, 886 (1) (a), 856 S.E.2d 452 (2021) ("[I]t was for the trial court to determine whether a party's own representations regarding her income were credible...."). Cf. Dodson v.
