1Opinion of the CourtCalkins, J.
[¶ 1] Russell Sylvester appeals from the judgment of the District Court (York, Wheeler, J.) adopting the child support order of the Case Management Officer (CMO) (Stavros) that Sylvester’s former wife, Evelyn Vitagliano, pay to him twenty dollars per week in support of their twin sons. Sylvester contends that the court erred in reviewing the CMO’s order for abuse of discretion and that the CMO erred in both refusing to impute additional income to Vitagliano and in deviating downward from the child support guidelines in determining the amount of child support. We affirm the judgment.
