1Opinion of the Court
FORET, Judge.
This is an action by Carolyn Ann Shockley Lewis (Plaintiff) seeking to make execu-tory past due alimony pendente lite for herself and the support of the children of her marriage to Robert Lee Lewis, Jr. (Defendant).
The defendant brings this appeal from a judgment of the trial court in favor of plaintiff.
The issue is whether a valid judgment of divorce rendered by a Texas court has the same effect with regard to the termination of alimony pendente lite under Louisiana law as does a valid judgment of divorce rendered by a Louisiana court.
