Opinion

June 12, 1969.

September 11, 1969.

Parent and Child — Support of children — Amount — Evidence.

Before WRIGHT, P.J., WATKINS, MONTGOMERY, JACOBS, HOFFMAN, SPAULDING, and CERCONE, JJ.

Appeal, No. 587, Oct. T., 1969, from order of Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, January T., 1967, No. 69, in case of Commonwealth ex rel. Judith G. Henry v. Vernon Walderon. Order affirmed.

Nonsupport. Before BODLEY, J.

Order entered increasing amount of support from $20.00 to $30.00, per week, for support of four minor children. Relatrix, mother, appealed.

Harold S. Patton, with him Neal Patton, for appellant.

Albert Rosenthal, and Bell Rosenthal, for appellee.


HOFFMAN, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which SPAULDING, J., joined.

Argued June 12, 1969.


Order affirmed.


In the instant case, the court entered an order of $30.00 per week for the support of four children. The father's federal income tax return for 1968 reflected that he had an income of $8,957.00. Under all of the circumstances of this case, I believe that the lower court's award was wholly inadequate and would remand the matter so that the court might fix an award more in keeping with the father's income.

SPAULDING, J., joins in this dissenting opinion.
