Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

In 1991. my son and at the time daughter-in-law bought a house. They could not pay the notes and I paid three for them. This was in February, 1991. In June the power company turned off the electricity and they left the state. We new the person who mortaged the house and land and I met with her and her attorney. She was in process of suing them. They did not want the house, so my husband and I caught up the back notes and moved into the house. The girls father and grandfather came with a u-haul and got the furniture. Now that the house is paid for, my son wants the property back. He and his wife seperated and divorces that same year. One lives in North Alabama, and the other in South Alabama. Have tried donation deeds, she signed but he want. He has never put one dollar into the property, but wants it now. I have paid the city taxes for the 19 years, and parish taxes for the past 4 years. I hold the canceled mortage.
