¶1RESCRIPT

TANNER, P. J,

¶2The respondent seeks to void the decree allowing the eompalinant temporary alimony by producing an agreement for separation between the parties, in which for the consideration of $75 the complainant agreed to waive her rights to support.

¶3Such agreements are valid if fair and reasonable. We are of the opinion, however, that the sum of $75 was a merely nominal consideration and by no means adequate.

¶4The motion to modify the decree is therefore denied.

¶5Commonwealth of Penn. vs. Smith, 13 Penn. Superior Court, 358.
