Plaintiff\u2019s net earnings have increased. The court\u2019s finding that plaintiff\u2019s expenses for housing will increase when he moves to Florida was not supported by any evidence in the record before us.\nIt may well be, as the court found, that expenses defendant claims for her child are excessive. There was, nevertheless, no change shown in the needs of the child since the entry of the order of 6 December 1972 from which plaintiff could have appealed.\nBecause no material change of circumstances has been shown, the order must be reversed.\nReversed.\nJudges Campbell and Morris concur.",

In an order dated 6 Decern-ber 1972, plaintiff was required to pay $400.00 per month for the support of his 8-year-old son. In the order from which defendant appeals, the support was reduced to $60.00 per week.\nNo counsel for plaintiff appellee.\nWilson and Morrow by John F. Morrow for defendant appellant."
