KEATY, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment granting a confirmation of default and attorney fees. Two questions are presented for our review. We are called upon to determine whether the grant of default judgment was proper against Defendants, and, if so, whether the grant of attorney fees against them was proper. In finding that the trial court was manifestly erroneous in confirming the default judgment, we reverse the trial court on all issues.
