Licciardi v. Licciardi

Licciardi v. Licciardi
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided February 10, 2017 · Genovese
210 So. 3d 797; 2017 WL 542015; 2017 La. LEXIS 358 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Licciardi v. Licciardi

Opinion of the Court

GENOVESE, J.,

would grant and assigns reasons.

Ill respectfully dissent and would grant the writ and docket it. In my view, it is necessary to address whether a trial court’s discretionary authority under La. R.S. 9:2801(A)(4)(d) in partitioning community property “upon such terms and conditions as the court shall direct” includes the authority of the trial court to divert a child support obligation, which is a legal duty owed to the minor children, in satisfaction of a spouse’s community property obligation.
