DOLLY L. EORI, BY HER ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, JOSEPH A. EORI Appellee v. RUSSELL EORI, NOW KNOWN AS, JOSHUA RYAN AND PAULETTE RUSH Appellants
NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
Appeal from the Order Entered July 21, 2014
In the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County
Civil Division at No(s): 5825 of 2013
BEFORE: PANELLA, J., SHOGAN, J., and OTT, J. JUDGMENT ORDER BY PANELLA, J.
Appellant, Joshua Ryan, appeals from the order entered on July 21, 2014, in the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County that mandates that he pay his mother, Dolly L. Eori, $400.00 per month in filial support. We affirm.
Paulette Rush, Dolly L. Eori's daughter, is listed on the caption, but she is not a party to this appeal. She entered into a consent order to pay her mother $400.00 per month in filial support.
The facts and procedural history are set forth at length in the trial court's opinion. We briefly note that Joseph A. Eori is the attorney-in-fact for his mother and is the brother of Joshua Ryan. Their mother, who is ninety years old, lives with Joseph full-time and requires extensive medical care. Joseph filed a complaint seeking filial support of their mother. See 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 4603(c)(2). After a two-day hearing, the trial court awarded support. See id., at § (a)(1)(ii). This timely appeal followed.
"Our standard of review in support matters is well settled; absent an abuse of discretion, we will not disturb on appeal a properly entered support order." Savoy v. Savoy , 641 A.2d 596, 598 (Pa. Super. 1994) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).
We have examined the briefs, the trial court's opinion, our standard of review, and the certified record, and find that the trial court's well-written opinion, authored by the Honorable Christian F. Scherer, adequately addresses the claims. We affirm based on that opinion. See Trial Court Opinion, filed 10/10/14, at 1-15.
Order affirmed. Judgment Entered. /s/_________
