TERRIE LIVINGSTON, Justice.

Introduction

Appellant Patrick Harbold appeals an order modifying a final divorce decree increasing his child support payments from $1632 to $1800 per month. He argues in three points that the trial court abused its discretion in finding he was underemployed and that his potential earning capacity justified the increase.1 Because the trial court did not act arbitrarily or unreasonably, we hold it did not abuse its discretion. We overrule appellant’s three points and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
