Amendment History
Acts 1999, No. 210, §1.
Plain-English Summary
Article 2795 is a short, practical wrap-up provision. It confirms that nothing in Chapter 7 should be read as prohibiting a party from asserting multiple remedies available under the chapter, or from requesting additional proceedings for enforcement or modification of the support order at the time the order is filed for registration.
The provision matters because Subsections B and C set out separate tracks -- modification in Articles 2786 through 2790, enforcement in Articles 2791 through 2795 -- with their own documents, deadlines, and confirmation procedures. Read narrowly, a party might wonder whether pursuing one track forecloses the other, or whether combining requests in a single filing is permitted at all. Article 2795 answers that directly: a party can pursue both, and can bundle related requests together rather than filing separate, sequential proceedings.
In practice, this lets an obligee who registers a support order for enforcement also ask, in the same filing, for the order to be modified going forward -- collecting on existing arrearages while pursuing a change in future support at the same time, rather than starting two disconnected actions in the registering court.
As the final article in Chapter 7, Article 2795 also closes out Title II, Executory Proceedings, as a whole. It leaves the reader with a chapter, and a title, built around the same theme: giving Louisiana creditors, and obligees under support orders specifically, efficient tools for enforcing what a Louisiana court has already decided, without unnecessary procedural obstacles standing in the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ask for both enforcement and modification of a support order at the same time?
Yes. Article 2795 confirms that a party may assert multiple remedies and request additional proceedings for either enforcement or modification when filing the order for registration.
Do I need to file two separate registration proceedings for modification and enforcement?
Not necessarily. Article 2795 allows requests for both to be combined at the time of filing rather than requiring separate, sequential actions.
Does Article 2795 create a new type of relief?
No. It clarifies that the remedies already available under Chapter 7 can be combined; it does not add any new substantive remedy of its own.
Why does the Code include a joinder provision at the end of this chapter?
Because Subsections B and C set up separate modification and enforcement tracks, Article 2795 makes clear that pursuing one does not preclude combining it with the other in the same filing.
