1Opinion of the Court
Smith, Judge.
In July 1993 Frieda Morris filed a complaint for domestication of a foreign judgment and modification of child support against her former husband, James Morris. On August 28, 1995, she dismissed the action without prejudice. Mr. Morris subsequently filed a motion for award of attorney fees and litigation expenses pursuant to OCGA §§ 19-6-19 (d) and 9-15-14 (b). Without entering findings illustrating conduct authorizing an award, the trial court granted the motion. Ms. Morris appeals, contending that attorney fees were erroneously granted under both statutes.
