Restoration of the Separate Estate From Community Property After the Equal Management Reform: Some Thoughts on Louisiana’s Reimbursement Rules

Authors

Cynthia Samuel

Abstract

In 1980, Louisiana shifted from husband management to a general rule of equal management of the community property; these rules are more sympathetic to separate reimbursement claims than to safeguarding a spouse's interest in the community property. It is argued that Louisiana's rules on restoration of the separate estate need some revision.
