3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Barbara’s original complaint was for separate' maintenance; and she did not formally amend her complaint. Her claim, for separate maintenance %oas no longer proper, however, as a divorce had been previously granted. The lower court’s judgment of alimony may still be affirmed if her action for separate maintenance could be and was properly converted to, and tried as, a claim for alimony- There is nothing inherent in the substance of a claim for separate maintenance to prevent parties from implicitly or tacitly amending the complaint at trial to become a claim for alimony.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Barbara and Thomas Weiss were married on December 16, 1967, in Biloxi, Mississippi. They separated in 1986, and Thomas moved to Slidell, Louisiana.
