Asked in Child Support and Family Law for Louisiana

Q: Can she still receive interim spousal support? Even after 2 yrs of no finalized divorce?

If there's no finalized divorce after 2 yrs. Does interim spousal support continue or does it end.I filed for child support then after they tried to serve him. He went filed for a divorce child support and spousal support with his lawyer. Then we went to court where him and his wife showed up and he said they wasn't living together which was a lie. After I asked how do I get what I got because I filed my cs case first. Because he had a lawyer to push his case through. But the point is their divorce never been finalized.

A: You already asked this question. It is hard to follow. The first order of child support is unaffected by any subsequent orders of child or spousal support.
