KERN, Associate Judge:

Appellee-husband was granted an absolute divorce on the ground of voluntary separation, D.C.Code 1967, § 16-904(a). The ‘trial court ordered that appellant be given custody of their two minor children, that the home they jointly owned be sold and the net proceeds divided equally between them, and that appellee pay $35 per week for support and maintenance of appellant and the children. We affirm the judgment except that part awarding support.

An award under D.C.Code 1967, § 16-913, “will not be disturbed, unless an abuse of discretion^ is made manifest by the record.”…
