<p>Husband and wife — Agreement of separation — Weekly allowance— Subsequent divorce of wife.</p> <p>An agreement between husband and wife which provides for their living separate and apart, and for the payment of a certain amount per week to the wife in lieu of all claims and demands which she may have against her husband, may be made without the intervention of a trustee when the parties are living together, if a separation is inevitable and immediate; and such agreement is not terminated by a subsequent decree of divorce against the wife for her adultery. The act of March 13, 1815, sec. 8, does not divest the rights of the wife under such an agreement by her subsequent divorce.</p>
