Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
community debts
I've been separated a year this month and am filing the motion for final judgement on the divorce. During this year I have managed to pay off debts we had run up while married, plus pay the full mortgage for 5 months on a house that is in his name alone. It totals close to $22k that I've paid out. I'm filing a motion to request 50% reimbursement from him for these payments, so of course he is coming back at me and saying I owe him close to $16k for the $1,200 per month he paid me before a child support order was in place, and for work he did on the house to get it ready to sell. He is actually trying to charge me $25 per hour for his ''labor''. I can see paying for half of the receipts he has for supplies, etc, but $25/hour for his labor?
