Louisiana is a community property state. That is, unless there is a prenuptial agreement or an agreement to have separate property in the marriage, any property and debts collected during marriage are considered marital property. This division often results in a 50-50 split between husband and wife.
For a divorce to be finalized, you must create a community property settlement agreement and have it approved by the court. This agreement is recorded in the public records and sent to any creditors so everyone is on notice as to asset division and debt division.
Property division in a divorce can be extremely complex. When spouses were married for a long time, property division can be challenging. Similarly, when assets have comingled, when spouses owned a business together, and other complicating factors can add to the challenges of property division.
