Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Rights of products purchased
What is the law in Louisiana when one of the spouses purchases an item just in their name without including the other spouse's financial information. Is the item purchased still under community property? If there was a divorce could the spouse that purchased the item take possession of it or not?

Re: Rights of products purchased
If the property was purchased during the existence of the community regime, and NOT with totally separate funds of the purchaser, then the property belongs 1/2 to each spouse.
