1Opinion of the Court

WEBB, Judge.

The defendant first argues that he was not given proper notice of the hearing. The notice for the 19 July 1983 hearing was served on the defendant’s attorney but not on the defendant. Hinnant v. Hinnant, 258 N.C. 509, 128 S.E. 2d 900 (1963), holds that this is sufficient notice. There is nothing in the record to show the attorney was relieved after the child support order was entered and before the notice was served on him. We hold the notice was sufficient. The defendant was not, as he contends, deprived of his rights under the United States or North Carolina Constitution.
