Masters are employed by the courts to assist the judges in handling divorce cases as well as other hearings matters, In divorce cases the Masters hear issues of uncontested divorces, and pendente lite issues (temporary issues) among other matters. It is a real legal hearing just like any other hearing before a judge.  So I would not take it lightly and not attend.  The Master makes recommendations to the judge as to what the order should be in your case. Even if on your case the Master will "rubber stamp" the property agreement - if that is what will happen - it is best to have your appearance noted and your agreement to the paperwork on the record.  Go.  Good luck.
