Ethlyn J. FRIEDMAN a/K/a Lynn J. Friedman, Appellant,
v.
Meyer FRIEDMAN a/K/a Mickey Friedman, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Herman Cohen and Martin Cohen, Miami, for appellant.
Patricia Ann Ash of Harold M. Braxton, P.A., Miami, for appellee.
STONE, Judge.
This is an appeal by the former wife from a final order sustaining the former *782 husband's exceptions to a report of the general master which had determined that appellant is entitled to a judgment for child support arrearages. The trial court denied relief to the former wife because the children had reached majority. We reverse.
The fact that the children have reached eighteen is irrelevant to the right of the custodial parent to a judgment for past due support. Newman v. Newman,
The cases relied on by the trial court are inapposite. Cronebaugh v. Van Dyke,
In this case the appellant is not seeking contempt, modification, nor sums due after the children reached their majority. The appellant simply moved for a judgment for sums which had accrued during the period prior to emancipation. In Newman v. Newman,
Appellee has also alleged an insufficiency of notice of the hearing before the master. However, the record clearly reflects notice. There is no contention of payment, and although appellee notes that the amount of the recommended judgment differs somewhat from the amount of the petition, there has been no transcription made of the master's hearing. The master's report is presumed correct and the record fails to support setting it aside. See Ben-Hain v. Tacher,
We therefore reverse and remand for entry of a judgment in accordance with the master's report.
DOWNEY, J., and RIVKIND, LEONARD, Associate Judge, concur.
