Property Settlement

Louisiana is a community property law state which means that unless you have a Marriage Contract in place, assets and debts acquired during the marriage are community property. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, Louisiana law provides for the assets and debts of the parties to be equally divided in the community property partition.

Louisiana Revised Statute 9:2801 governs the partition of community property.
