We sold her old vehicle for $6000. She owed $5000 on a loan for it. The car she is in did not involve her car, and we actually traded my personal vehicle for that. I've offered to give her a car of equal value.

Call a family law attorney for a consultation. Your question not specific enough.

We don't have abandonment in Louisiana. So yes, you can still be required to pay spousal support.
We have agreed on a 50/50 split of everything and have drawn up the property settlement. He will be writing me a check for my portion of the money.

You owe him half the equity that existed at the time of divorce, not half the equity now.
My husband currently has use of a truck and this new vehicle would be my only transportation for myself and my 3 kids.

It would be a gift but I recommend not acquiring ANY assets in your name until someone has filed for divorce. We don't have legal separation in LA.
Petition for divorce was filed Sept 5,2014.

If his ex has not filed a Petition to Annul the Divorce, then don't worry about it.
If you want more assurance, take the pleadings to a family lawyer to review.
He just asked for seperation a few days ago. Succession paperwork was finalized about a month ago.

No, inherited property is separate property and therefore does not form part of the community.
My lawyer is avoiding me. How do I proceed
answered on Mar 24, 2018
You (or your lawyer) would need to file a Motion and Order to Dismiss the petition.
My lawyer is playing games. I made this request November 2017. It is still not done

I'm not sure what a "Louisiana revocation of divorce form" is. After a divorce in Louisiana, the only way to "revoke" it is to remarry that person again!

Assuming this is an ex spouse, you need a family law attorney to do a partition of rhe community, not simply do it yourself paperwork.
Divorced was finalized in April 2016 (if I remember correctly there was no community property agreement). Prior to the divorce we financed a truck and it’s in both of our names. I was told by my lawyer that there is nothing they can really do legally to force him to refinance the vehicle to get... View More

The community property can be settled to take care of the car lien and possession of the car. Put together all the documentation you have of his nonpayment.
I’ve asked for a divorce but refuses.

No you don't until your attorney files a motion for use of the home and Judge orders him to vacate.
answered on Mar 17, 2018
No your marriage is still legal and requires a divorce.
I've been trying to get my husband served and he won't open the door when the deputy gets to his house, what more can we do? The court date has been rescheduled twice already because of failure to serve him. He says he is trying to get an attorney but that doesn't take 2 years. He... View More

There are 3 options that I can think of. (1) A private process server can be hired to attempt to serve him, (2) personal service can be attempted at his place of work (or some other place he visits frequently), or (3) if you're not sure that he's still living at the address where... View More
My father is my non-custodial parent. I've only met him like 3 or 4 times. I've heard that if you go after your parents for college money you'll win, but it just seems a little fishy. Would I have to go to court, or could we just send him a notice or something? And also, would it... View More

Louisiana a is not an enlightened state. College is not included in child support.
Would a detailed notarized bill of sale suffice until my divorce is complete, as she is wanting the money immediately?
answered on Mar 15, 2018
An Act of Sale would be the proper document, not a bill of sale. Your attorney can prepare this for you.
I inherited the home. Will she get half. I can't work due to injuries and surgeries. She will get a settlement from a wreck. Can I get half of that?
answered on Mar 12, 2018
Home is yours alone. Change the locks. Hire a lawyer. Her wreck is hers alone.
