Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Willful Intent to Dispose of Community Property!?

My wife was given possession and use of our maritial domicile until the final divorce decree and property settlement in our divorce. There is a mutual retraining order between us. My wife was to make house payments while using the house and now my house is in foreclosure. She moved out of the house in October 2001, failed to forward any information/statements from the mortgage company to me, her attorney, or my attorney. I accidently discovered this information (she lives in LA, and I in GA). Could her failure to inform me of the status of our community property while under her management be considered wilfull intent to dispose of community property? According to our divorce, neither party is to encumber or dispose of any community property.

Yes. If your part of the community was reduced because of her failure to properly protect it, you may be entitled to the full worth of what she squandered by not paying the note.
