Dissenting Opinion by
Wright, J.:
I respectfully dissent. Judge Gawthrop found as a fact, as did the Master, that appellee’s “present earning power is negligible”. This finding is fully supported by the evidence, and it is not our function to make a conjectural finding to the contrary. We have repeatedly stated that orders of the trial court in matters of this nature -will not be disturbed in the absence of a clear abuse of discretion. See Commonwealth ex rel. Trichon v. Trichon, 189 Pa. Superior Ct. 395, 150 A. 2d 176. My view is that appellant has failed to demonstrate an abuse of discretion in the instant case. Since the majority opinion mentions the children, it should perhaps be noted that appellee is *101required, by virtue of a Delaware order, to pay appellant an additional fill.00 per month support for his two sons.
Ervin, J., joins in this dissent.
