Syllabus

<p>1. DIVORCE — alimony. Where the court has decreed a divorce on the application of the wife, and thereupon the parties agree upon the alimony which the husband shall pay the wife, consisting of a gross sum of money, furniture and silver ware, etc., and it is also agreed that the husband shall support and educate an adopted daughter: Held, that the court will not inquire whether the amount decreed for alimony is too large, as it was fixed by the voluntary agreement of the parties.</p> <p>2. Inasmuch as the support and education of the adopted child was agreed upon by the parties, the court will not determine whether such a decree could have been rendered without consent; and that, as the decree finds that the parties had agreed upon its terms, it will be presumed that the court was satisfied that the parties had voluntarily agreed upon that part of the decree.</p>
