DEFENDANT
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
PACSES NO: 560100141
422 SUPPORT 1998
IN RE: EXCEPTIONS TO SUPPORT MASTER'S REPORT
BEFORE BAYLEY, J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Bayley, J., September 3, 2003:--
On June 4, 2003, an interim order was entered in this child support case based
upon the recommendations of the Cumberland County Support Master. Plaintiff filed
exceptions. The issues were briefed and oral argument was conducted on August 26,
2003. Plaintiff maintains that defendant's income capacity was set incorrectly and that
the income of defendant's current husband was not properly considered when
determining the resources available to defendant to pay support.
The standard for reviewing exceptions to a support master's report are set forth
in Goodman v. Goodman, 375 Pa. Super. 504 (1988). The report is advisory only.
While it is to be given the fullest consideration, especially with regard to the credibility of
witnesses, the court is required to make a review to determine if the recommendations
are appropriate. It is the sole province and the responsibility of the court to set an
award of support, however much it may choose to utilize the Master's report.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that the recommendations
made by the Master are legally correct and supported by credible evidence. We
incorporate the Master's report in support of the following order.
