World - / Nov 13, 2026 - Court upholds contractual payments: ex-husband must keep paying fuel, health cover - A Louisiana appeals court has upheld a legal agreement requiring a divorced husband to keep paying his ex-wife's expenses. The court ruled these payments represent contractual duties rather than typical spousal support subject to change upon remarriage. Previous agreements concerning property and payments have been recognized, and the validity of the house deed has been affirmed. Both parties will bear the appeal costs, and either party can seek a rehearing.
