Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, an action to partition community property and to settle the claims between the parties arising from either a matrimonial regime or from co-ownership of former community property shall be brought either as an incident of the action which would result in the termination of the community property regime or as a separate action in the parish where the judgment terminating the community property regime was rendered. B. If the spouses own community immovable property, the action to partition the community property, movable and immovable, and to settle the claims between the parties arising either from a matrimonial regime or from co-ownership of former community property may bejjbrought in the parish in which any of the community immovable property is situated.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“|fiThe remaining action to partition community property was properly instituted in Lafayette Parish, that being the parish where the judgment dissolving the community was rendered. LSA-C.C.P. art. 82. As we have already observed, however, the petition shows that the community property has already been partitioned by conventional agreement. There are no community assets to be judicially partitioned, therefore, and there will be none unless and until the earlier partition agreements are annulled. Since these partition agreements have not been annulled, the petition for a partition of the community property fails to state a cause of action.”
