Property Division After Divorce

Summary

In the absence of a prenuptial agreement, property division in divorce typically follows community property or equitable distribution rules, depending on the state. Louisiana follows community property rules, meaning all assets acquired during marriage are typically divided equally. Since the property was purchased during the marriage, it will likely be divided equally under Louisianas community property rules. Domestic abuse charges can potentially impact divorce proceedings and property division, especially if children are involved. Contact Louisiana Court at (225) 389-3964 for more information.
