Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Re: student loan

As a general rule, student loans are seen as the personal obligation of the one who incurred them. However, that is not necessarily a hard-and-fast rule. It will depend a great deal upon when she incurred the loans (prior to marriage or during the marriage), whether the community has profited from the education, and a host of other criteria. It also depends upon what context this is being asked. If you are talking about interim spousal support, perhaps; if you are talking about a property settlement after divorce in which each party undertakes part of the obligation and receives part of the assets, possibly. For what it's worth, the student loans are not collectible by the student loan lender against a non-signing, non-student spouse.

Re: student loan

If it is a community debt, then the community owes it.
