Description

Opinion by JUDGE STERNBERG The determinative issue in this appeal is whether a trial court may reverse a referee's decision on a motion to increase child support, without holding an evidentiary hearing. We hold that such reversal may be done only after the judge holds an evidentiary hearing. Since none was held here, we reverse and remand for further proceedings. The operative facts are these: At the time of entry of a decree dissolving the marriage of the parties, a settlement agreement dated April 25, 1975, was adopted by the court. It provided that the father would pay to the mother $200 per month as child support for each of two children.
