Louisiana Court of Appeal

Decided February 3, 1970No. 11354Published

1Opinion of the Court

AYRES, Judge.

This is an action by a wife against her husband for a judgment decreeing a separation of property during the marriage under the provisions of LSA-C.C. Art. 2425. From a judgment rejecting plaintiff’s demands she appealed.

LSA-C.C. Art. 2425 provides:

“The wife may, during the marriage, petition against the husband for a separation of property, whenever her dowry is in danger, owing to the mismanagement of her husband, or otherwise, or when the disorder of his affairs induces her to believe that his estate may not be sufficient to meet her rights and claims.”
