This is an appeal from an order of the trial court dismissing the appellant’s appeal for delay in payment of costs in an action seeking to hold the husband-appellee in contempt for failure to pay alimony and child support.

The record fails to show that the appellant was given notice and an opportunity for a hearing prior to the order of the court granting the appellee’s motion to dismiss. As we read Code Ann. § 6-809 (b) the appellant was entitled to an opportunity for a hearing on the appellee’s motion to dismiss for delay in payment of costs. The case is therefore remanded to the trial court to conduct a hearing on the motion to dismiss after notice to the appellant.

Judgment reversed and remanded.
