PER CURIAM.

This appeal is by the plaintiff wife from a judgment which granted her a divorce, seeking reversal with regard to the provisions therein relating to alimony and support. The cause was uncontested as to the ground of divorce. Lump sum alimony was awarded, payable in a certain amount at the time of the judgment and in installments over a period of years. The wife was awarded custody of two children of the parties, 10 and 13 years of age at the time of the judgment. Certain child support was allowed, and the wife was given permission to reside, with the children, in the residence previously occupied by the parties. The residence was owned one third by the husband, and two thirds by the children under a trust. It was provided that the privilege of occupancy thereof by the wife would end when the children attained majority, or sooner if the wife should remarry or remove therefrom. The judgment required the husband to pay the taxes and insurance on the residence premises, but imposed upon the wife the burden of its upkeep and repair, with permission to the husband to have repairs made to the premises and deduct the cost thereof from unmatured payments of alimony.
