“When the family residence is community property or the spouses own community movables or immovables, after or in conjunction with the filing of a petition for divorce or for separation of property in accordance with Civil Code Article 2374, either spouse may petition for, and a court may award to one of the spouses, after a contradictory hearing, the use and occupancy of the family residence and use of community movables or immovables to either of the spouses pending further order of the court. In these cases, the court shall inquire into the relative economic status of the spouses, including both community and separate property, and the needs of the children, if any, and shall award the use and occupancy of the family residence and the use of any community movables or immovables to the spouse in accordance with the best interest of the family. If applicable, the court shall consider the granting of the occupancy of the family home and the use of community movables or immovables in awarding spousal support.”

A.-C.C. art. 148 is to temporarily, pending litigation, provide for the spouse who does not have sufficient income for his or her maintenance and to preserve the status quo insofar as maintenance and support are concerned [Citation omitted]. In making an award of alimony pendente lite the trial court considers the need of the spouse seeking alimony and the means of the paying spouse. The need for alimony must be proven, the award should be in proportion to the need and means and fair and just to each party [Citation omitted]. Lamb v. Lamb, 427 So.2d 899, 900 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1983).”
