Samir MOURRA, Appellant, v. Chantal B. MOURRA, Appellee.
    No. 93-1825.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 19, 1993.
    
      Papy & Weissenborn and Sheridan Weis-senborn, Miami, and Clifford A. Kornfield, Coral Gables, for appellant.
    Chantal B. Mourra, in pro. per.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and GODERICH, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The order under review finding the appellant in civil contempt and committing him to prison because of his failure to make past due alimony and child support payments is vacated because the record does not support the conclusion, which is indispensable to the validity of such an order, that he has the ability to pay the amount required to purge himself of contempt. Bowen v. Bowen, 471 So.2d 1274 (Fla.1985).
