*656Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by
Van der Voort, J.:
While I concur in the Opinion of the majority remanding the case, and agree that the instant factual situation calls for application of 23 P.S. §48, I dissent to the within disposition. Since 23 P.S. §48 was not considered below, I would not rely upon the stipulation as grounds for a current support order. Rather, I would vacate the decree in divorce upon the condition that appellant file an application under 23 P.S. §48 for permanent support, and engage in a hearing. The purpose of this hearing would be to allow the lower court to determine whether or not an allowance for appellant’s support shall be decreed and then whether or not a decree in divorce shall be re-issued and if re-issued, it should stand affirmed. In the event that such application for alimony be not made within thirty days, the order granting the decree in divorce would be reinstated and affirmed.
CERCONE, J., joins in this concurring and dissenting opinion.
