Plaintiff in reconvention and defendant in reconvention separated on and have lived separate and apart since ______ ___ , ____ , without reconciliation. l3. Under the provisions of LSA-C.C. Art. l02, Plaintiff in reconvention is now entitled to a judgment of divorce from her husband, after the period set out in Louisiana Civil Code Article l02. l4. Of this marriage, one (l) child was born, namely, ______________ , born ______ ___ , ____ , and said child has been and presently is in the physical care, custody and control of your plaintiff in reconvention, and it would be in the best interest of said minor child to be placed in the joint custody of her parents thereafter in accord with the joint custody implementation plan attached hereto and made a part hereof. l5. The defendant in reconvention is gainfully employed, earning a sufficient income and has adequate means to provide, and your plaintiff in reconvention needs a reasonable amount of alimony pendente lite and child support to be determined by this Honorable Court in accord with LSA-C.C. Art. lll and LSA R.S. 9:3l5 et seq., respectively, plus medical, dental, drug and optical expenses incurred or to be incurred on behalf of plaintiff in reconvention and the aforesaid minor child, to commence from the date of the filing of these proceedings and to continue thereafter until the further orders of this Honorable Court. l6. Some community property, both movable and immovable, was acquired during the existence of this marriage and plaintiff in reconvention desires that the parties be recognized as the owners of an undivided one-half (l/2) interest each in and to said community property, reserving unto them the right to seek a judicial or extra-judicial partition thereof at any time in the future. l7. Since irreparable injury, loss or damage may otherwise result, to protect plaintiff's in reconvention interest in the community property, it is necessary that both a preliminary injunction and an injunction be issued herein, enjoining defendant in reconvention from disposing of, alienating, or encumbering any of the community property, including borrowing against the cash surrender values, or the change of ownership and/or beneficiaries of any of the policies of life insurance insuring the lives of either of the parties. Unless restrained from doing so, the defendant in reconvention will dispose of, alienate, or encumber some or all of the community property and will borrow against the cash surrender values and/or change of the ownership and/or beneficiaries of the policies of life insurance insuring the lives of the parties hereto before notice can be served and a hearing had on the application for a preliminary injunction, resulting in immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage to plaintiff in reconvention. Hence, it is necessary that a temporary restraining order be issued immediately, in the form and substance of the preliminary injunction and the injunction mentioned above. l8. Plaintiff in reconvention further shows that defendant in reconvention has physically and mentally abused her and she is in fear that the defendant in reconvention may harass or physically or sexually abuse her and she, therefore, desires that an injunction issue herein, without bond prohibiting the defendant in reconvention from harassing or physically or sexually abusing her. l9. Due to plaintiff's in reconvention necessitous circumstances and inconveniences and turmoil which would result from a change of residence, plaintiff in reconvention is entitled to and desires to be granted the sole use and occupancy of the former family residence situated at ______________ , including all improvements and contents thereof, pending the further orders of this Court, without the responsibility for the payment of rental therefor. 20. Plaintiff in reconvention further shows that she was free from fault in the causing of the breakup of this marriage and is, therefore, entitled to permanent alimony in an amount to be determined by this Honorable Court, all in accord with LSA-C.C. Art. ll2. 2l. The defendant in reconvention was not free from fault in the causing of the break up of this marriage. WHEREFORE, plaintiff in reconvention prays that: l.

There be judgment on the original petition in favor of the defendant and against the plaintiff, dismissing his demands at his costs; 3.
