Schexnayder v. Schexnayder
Schexnayder v. Schexnayder
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a July 7, 1983 judgment of the 29th Judicial District
Husbands and wives, however, can not prescribe against each other, and prescription in this ease can’t start to run until the marriage is terminated by divorce.
According to the brief filed by Mr. Schex-nayder, the Schexnayders have “... again separated and are currently in the process of obtaining a legal separation.” Obviously, they are not as yet divorced.
LRS-C.C. art. 3523 was in effect until January 1, 1983, when it was replaced by Art. 3469.
Art. 3523:
“Husbands and wives can not prescribe against each other.”
Art. 3469:
“Prescription is suspended as between: the spouses during marriage, parents and children during minority, tutors and minors during tutorship, and curators and interdicts during interdiction.”
(Underlining provided.)
Accordingly, we nullify and set aside the appealed-from judgment maintaining the exception of prescription, and we remand to the district court for further proceedings.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
