79 So. 326 | La. | 1918
After a judgment of separation from bed and board had been rendered in favor of plaintiff against her husband (132 La. 942, 61 South. 879), and plaintiff had accepted the community of acquSts and gains that had existed theretofore between them, a partition of the community property was ordered. The property was converted into cash, and the notary to whom had been referred the making of the partition filed his project of partition. In it he recognized certain claims as being debts of the community, and others he noted as being contested.
Another disputed item is $519, of which there is no further specification in the record, or in the brief, than reference in general to the record in the separation from bed and board suit, and the following:
“To amount due Mrs. Gastauer, paraphernal funds, belonging to her advanced by her for the benefit of the community lately existing between plaintiff and defendant, $1,242.”
We assume that, if this claim had been intended to be seriously urged, there would have been greater particularization of it than this.
Another disputed item is $2,148 which Mrs. Gastauer says she spent during the pendency of the suit in separation for the support of the two sons and two daughters of the marriage. The youngest was 19 at the date of the trial. The community property amounts to $3,884.80, and is about absorbed by the community debts. Whether the husband had any other property is not positively shown,
It is therefore ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment appealed from be, and is hereby, set aside in so far as it recognizes and orders the payment of the claim of Mrs. Gastauer for $611.82, and in so far as it charges the community with the items $214.60, costs in divorce suit, and $233.05, judgment- in suit Untereiner v. Gastauer (No. 100789), and the said judgment be, and is hereby, affirmed in so far as it rejects the claims of Mrs. Gastauer for $519, alleged paraphernal funds advanced by her to the community of acquSts and gains, and for one-half of $2,148, alleged expenses incurred by her in support of the children of the marriage, and recognizes the mortgage' of Otto Walther as a community debt, and it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the said claim for $611.82 be, and the same is hereby, rejected, and that the above-mentioned two items of $214.60 and $233.05 be, and the same are hereby, decreed not to be community debts, but separate debts of the husband, and that the costs of this appeal be paid one-half by the community and one-half by the husband.
