NAUMOFF BROWN, 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. 422 SUPPORT 1998 ORDER OF COURT AND NOW, this day of September, 2003, IT IS ORDERED: (1) Plaintiff's exceptions to the Support Master's Report, ARE DISMISSED.
