PER CURIAM.
Following a judgment of divorce on October 8, 1970, obligating the defendant husband to pay $27 per week for each of the parties' three minor children, defendant, on February 11, 1971, filed a motion to modify the judgment to decrease child support payments.
The support provisions of the judgment of divorce read that "this amount (the $27 per week per child) of support is predicated upon defendant's representation that his present income does not exceed eight hundred twenty ($820) dollars per month".
The Wayne County Friend of the Court recommended that support be reduced to $23 per week per child and the court, hearing oral arguments by counsel and no testimony, adopted the recommendations of the Friend of the Court over the objections of plaintiff's counsel.
Plaintiff contends that the court should have received testimony before making a ruling on the motions and that the Friend of the Court report cannot be used as evidence over the objection of either party to the matter.
We agree. Reversed on the authority of Krachun v. Krachun, 355 Mich. 167 (1959); Ewald v. Ewald, 14 Mich. App. 665 (1968); Stros v. Stros, 25 Mich. App. 154 (1970).
