    No. 98-417.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Jan. 13, 1999.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Barbara A. Ard, Assistant Attorney General, for appellant.
    Jairo Zapata, in proper person.
    Before COPE, GERSTEN and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order on motion for contempt insofar as it modifies the obligor’s arrearage installment payment amount. The modification issue was not raised by appropriate pleadings, and the opponent was not given notice and opportunity to be heard on the issue. See Moody v. Moody, 721 So.2d 731, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D1424 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998); see generally Gibson v. Bennett, 561 So.2d 565 (Fla.1990).

Reversed and remanded.
