Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE KARNS, dissenting: I would interpret the original divorce decree to award *10.00 per week support for each child. I find the reasoning of Snip v. Snip, 35 Ill. App. 2d 427, 183 N.E.2d 175 (1st Dist. 1962), persuasive; therefore, the defendant was entitled to terminate the *10 support payment when each child attained his or her majority. Admittedly, *10 weekly is an inadequate amount to support a minor child at this time; however, no petition to modify was ever filed by plaintiff, and defendant has paid over the years the sum of *22,003.50 from a total claimed due of *29,560, according to the majority’s calculation.
