1. “Written reasons for judgment are considered to be interlocutory rulings and do not carry the finality of a judgment. Prior to final judgment, a trial court may, at its discretion, change the substance or the result of interlocutory rulings. If a disparity exists between the judgment and the written reasons for judgment, the final judgment is definitive. Sanford v. Sanford, 468 So.2d 844, 845 (La.App. 1st Cir.1985); Carner v. Carner, 97-0128, p. 5 (La.App. 3rd Cir.6/18/97), 698 So.2d 34, 36 .”
