In general, alimony is a division of income, and a property settlement is a division of marital property.
After marriage, spouses may enter into a matrimonial agreement that modifis or terminates community property only by filing a joint petition with the court. Then, the court must make a determination that the agreement serves the best interests of the parties and that spouses understand the law and rules.
Under Louisiana law, if the parties have a community property regime, all the property acquired or debts incurred during the marriage is considered part of the community regime. A partition of property must equally divide the assets and liabilities between the spouses.
Separate property may include things such as: Property acquired by a spouse before marriage. Gifts or inheritances that are given to one spouse individually and not to the married couple, even if this occurs during marriage.
One of the benefits with community property is that the property receives a full step-up in basis. So what that means is if the couple purchased shares, for example, that were worth $100 and on the death of the first spouse, theyre worth $1,000, the new basis in the property will be $1,000.
