Commonwealth ex rel. Fischhoff v. Fischhoff
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
On September 13, 1962, we reviewed this same matter and reduced the order entered by the lower court against appellant for the support of his wife from $45 per week to $35.
Our examination of the record and brief as submitted by appellant in connection with this appeal indicates clearly that appellant by his latest petition was endeavoring to secure a review of matters previously considered by the lower court and by us. No change in his circumstances is indicated. Therefore, the petition was properly dismissed without a hearing, since there was nothing new to be heard.
If appellant would recognize the practicalities of his situation and engage counsel to guide him in his legal ventures he would benefit not only emotionally but financially as well. If he would devote to his profession of dentistry the amount of time and energy that he wastes in pursuing, unadvised, the legal strategy he has been using to avoid just payments of support to his wife, there would be no need for him to complain about his lack of funds to meet those obligations.
Order affirmed.
