DIAZ, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Gordon Watkins appeals the April 28, 1998 order of the Madison County Chancery Court denying his petition for modification of child support and holding him in contempt for non-payment of support to his son. He further assigns as error the chancellor’s award of attorney fees to Theresa Watkins. Finding that the change in circumstances alleged by Watkins did not warrant a modification of child support, we affirm the chancellor’s refusal to grant Watkins’ petition. We further *810affirm the citation for contempt and the award of attorney fees.
