2. Custody of the two children, both physical and legal, is awarded to the plaintiff with visitation as specified in the memorandum of decision issued hereafter.
3. The defendant is ordered to pay $400 a week as child support to the plaintiff beginning July 1, 1995.
4. The defendant is ordered to pay $350 a week as alimony for a period of seven years from the date of this judgment, the first payment to be made on July 1, 1995.
