1Opinion of the Court

HERMAN, J,

INTRODUCTION

The defendant appeals this court’s order of August 6, 2008 finding him in contempt for violating an order issued under the Protection From Abuse Act, 23 Pa.C.S. §6101 et seq. He filed a concise statement of matters complained of on appeal and the necessary transcripts are in the record. His appeal issue is: Whether the trial court’s decision finding defendant in contempt for violation of the protection from abuse order dated April 9, 2008 constituted an abuse of discretion because the trial court’s decision was against the great weight of the evidence?
