Heading: The Master's Report

Text: The superior court master filed a report and recommended ruling in June 2004. Noting that Byers had submitted a total of four 2003 tax returns, each seem[ing] to respond to questions or discrepancies raised by Ms. Ovitt, and that none of the four had been filed with the IRS, the master recommended imputing income to Byers based on his yearly expenses. Using the second proposed estimate from Sherwin's letter, the master determined that Byers's adjusted annual income was $29,176, and recommended that he be required to pay $333.25 per month in child support. The superior court adopted the master's report, but amended it to reduce Byers's child support payment to $305.80 per month. [4]
