Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
divorce property
my father is getting a divorce after
3yrs of marriage. this is his second
marriage. the original house was
purchased 20 years before this
marriage and was on his property.
that house was destroyed by fire 8
months after they were married. the
home they have now was purchased
with insurance money from the
previous home and is located on his
property. his wife had only worked
part-time for 6 months after they
were married, then the house
burned down and she has not
worked since. she came into the
marriage with no assets, no vehicle,
no money, nothing. the divorce is
the result of my father not wanting
to change his will and leave her
everything after only 3 yrs of
marriage! who should get what?

Re: divorce property
Your father needs to get all his papers and see a good family law attorney. He needs to be able to prove that the new house was built with, and the new purchases were made with, his separate money.
