“Art. 3538. The following actions are prescribed by three years: That for arrearages of rent charge, annuities and alimony, or of the hire of movables and immovables. * * * * * * This prescription only ceases from the time there has been an account acknowledged in writing, a note or bond given, or an action commenced.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“. . . the prescription of three years provided in Article 3538 is applicable in this case, even though the payments which defendant had been ordered to make to his wife were partially for the support of his minor children. Since more than three years elapsed from the time the judgment ordering the payment of alimony and support abated until a demand was filed by plaintiff for the arrearages, plaintiff's action must be held to have been lost by prescription of three years unless prescription was interrupted by one of the methods provided by law.. . ., we feel that the running of prescription has been interrupted.”
