Abstract: Provides for consideration of any interim allowance or final child support order in

obligations of the parties.
Proposed law retains present law and clarifies that financial obligations includes any interim
allowance or final child support obligation.
Present law (C.C. Art. 113) authorizes the court to award interim spousal support when a demand
for final spousal support is pending and provides factors to consider.
Proposed law retains present law and adds any interim allowance or final child support
obligations as factors to consider in awarding interim spousal support.
