Louisiana is a "community Property" state. A spouse's separate Property, consisting of Property acquired prior to the Marriage and Property acquired by gift or inheritance, is awarded to that spouse. The community Property is divided equally between the spouses. Personal Property necessary for the safety and well-being of the spouse filing for divorce and any children in his or her custody (including food, eating utensils, clothing, and any other items necessary for their safety and well-being) will be awarded to the spouse filing. Either spouse may ask the court for use and occupancy of the family residence pending the final division of the community Property. The court bases the temporary award of the family residence on the following factors:
(1) the value of each spouse's personal Property; (2) the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the division of Property is to become effective; and (3) needs of the children. In addition, a spouse may be awarded a sum of money for his or her financial contributions made during a Marriage to the education or training of a spouse that increased the other spouse's earning capacity.
[Louisiana Civil Code Annotated; Article 121 and Louisiana Statutes Annotated; Article 9, Chapter 384].
