Opinion
[Nos. 17, 18, October Term, 1935.]
Decided November 22d 1935.
Divorce — For Adultery — Alimony Pendente Lite.
The allowance of alimony and the amount thereof are in the sound discretion of the chancellor, and his action thereon will not be disturbed unless there is an apparent abuse of that discretion.
An allowance to the wife of alimony pendente lite in the amount of four dollars per month held insufficient, and increased to fifteen dollars per week.
A decree of divorce for the wife's adultery held to be supported by the evidence.
