   PER CURIAM.

The district court made no findings whether respondent mother was able to pay for supervised visitation once ordered. Without such findings, our appellate courts are. unable to determine if the trial court abused its discretion by requiring as a condition of visitation that visits with the children be at respondent mother’s expense. See Quick v. Quick, 305 N.C. 446, 452, 290 S.E.2d 653, 658 (1982) (“ ‘The purpose of the requirement that the court make findings of those specific facts which support its ultimate disposition of the case is to allow a reviewing court to determine from the record whether the judgment — and the legal conclusions which underlie it — represent a correct application of the law.’ ” (quoting Coble v. Coble, 300 N.C. 708, 712, 268 S.E.2d 185, 189 (1980))). We hold that insufficient findings of fact existed here to support meaningful appellate review. Accordingly, we reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals affirming the disposition order and remand this case to that court for further remand to the trial court with instructions to vacate the portion of the disposition order requiring that respondent mother’s visits be “at her expense,” and for entiy of a new disposition order once the trial court makes the necessary findings of fact. The remaining issues addressed by the Court of Appeals are not properly before this Court, and the decision of the Court of Appeals as to these matters remains undisturbed.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
