Louisiana Community Property

Louisiana operates under a civil law community property regime governed by La. Civ. Code art. 2338. Community property includes assets acquired during marriage through either spouse's effort, skill, or industry. Upon termination of the community, each spouse owns an undivided one-half interest in all community property. Separate property includes pre-marital assets and gifts or inheritances received during marriage.
