Larocca v. Larocca

1 Citing case

  1. Huger v. Huger

    No. 2022-CA-0410 (La. Ct. App. Dec. 14, 2022)

    The Special Master found that good cause existed to provide Wife with financial support and that a more viable basis existed to characterize payments before September 21, 2020 as extended interim support than those payments made after. As to Wife's need for financial support during this time, the Special Master looked to Wife's age, work history, absence from the work force during the marriage, and education, similar to the factors identified in LaRocca v. LaRocca, 14-255, p. 11 (La.App. 5 Cir. 10/29/14), 164 So.3d 207, 214. Specifically, Wife was 52 years old at the time, and while she had attained an undergraduate degree in fine arts, she had not worked full time at any point during the 24-year marriage; rather, she sporadically performed substitute teaching work and was primarily a homemaker through the time the parties' youngest children graduated from high school in May 2020. No vocational rehabilitation expert testified on behalf of either party as to Wife's capacity to work or available employment, and neither party introduced any other evidence regarding Wife's ability to obtain full time employment prior to Fall 2020.
