SPAETH, Judge,
concurring and dissenting:
I agree with the majority that the order of the lower court dismissing appellant’s complaint must be reversed. However, I should remand for further hearing.
Over two and a half years have passed since the lower court made its finding that “[ojrdinarily the evidence would warrant entry of a support order in the amount of $75.00 per week . . . .” Since that finding, appellant’s circumstances may have changed, either because of inflation or for other reasons. She should therefore have an opportunity to show that such an order would not be enough. This is especially true in light of the fact that appellant has not been able to challenge the lower court’s finding that $75.00 would be enough because the lower court dismissed her complaint and no support at all was ordered. For this court to order appellee to pay appellant support at the rate of $75.00 per week for the entire period since the lower court dismissed appellant’s complaint may do appellant, and for that matter, appellee, an injustice.
JACOBS, President Judge, joins in this opinion.
