McEWEN, President Judge,
dissenting:
¶ 1 While the author of the Opinion of the majority has, in usual fashion, proceeded to a careful analysis and persuasive expression, and while I hasten to concur in both Part I and Part II of that Opinion, I am obliged to dissent from the views expressed in Part III of the majority Opinion since I am of the view that the specific authorization extended to the trial court by Section 6108(a)(8) of the Protection From Abuse Act does not preclude application of the general statutory provision providing for an award of counsel fees under the circumstances set forth in Section 2503 of the Judicial Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 2503.
