Head Matter:
Beverly S. ALEXANDER v. Roger H. ALEXANDER, Jr.
No. 8290.
Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.
June 7, 1977.
Floyd J. Reed, Reed, Reed & D’Antonio, Metairie, for plaintiff-appellant.
John H. Brooks, Laborde & Brooks, New Orleans, for defendant-appellee.
Before REDMANN, STOULIG and MORIAL, JJ.

Opinion:
REDMANN, Judge.
Just as a prior civil proceeding for alimony and child support in the district court does not pre-empt the juvenile court's criminal non-support jurisdiction, State v. Galjour, 1949, 215 La. 553, 41 So.2d 215, we hold (ás we indicated obiter in Marchese v. Schulte, La.App. 4 Cir. 1970, 235 So.2d 605) that a prior criminal non-support proceeding in juvenile court does not pre-empt the district court's civil jurisdiction over alimony and child support.
The trial court's contrary ruling is reversed.
