Decided April 19, 1963.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William A. Tinney, Jr., Washington, D. C., for appellee.

Before HOOD, Chief Judge, and QUINN and MYERS, Associate Judges.


QUINN, Associate Judge.

The wife sued her husband for a limited divorce on the ground of cruelty and sought custody of, and support for, the two minor children of the parties. Following trial, the court entered an order denying the limited divorce but granted the wife custody of the children and directed the husband pay $250 a month for their support. Appellant contends that the court abused its discretion in arbitrarily fixing such an amount.
