Opinion

Gen. No. 41,399. (Abstract of Decision.)

Opinion filed February 26, 1941

DIVORCE, § 138^_ — temporary alimony and solicitor's fees. Although temporary alimony and solicitor's fees were denied in wife's action for separate maintenance, upon subsequent counterclaim for divorce by husband such fees were properly allowed, $1,500 solicitor's fees and $20 a week alimony were not excessive where husband was worth $30,000 and had an annual income of $10,000, but commissioner's fees were improperly computed at $10 per hour instead of per day, and should be reduced to latter figure.

_ See Callaghan's Illinois Digest, same topic and section number.
