“"LSA-C.C. art. 2399: Every marriage contracted in this State, superinduces of right partnership or community of acquets and gains, if there be no stipulation to the contrary." The property falling into the community is defined in LSA-C.C. art. 2402 in pertinent part as follows: ". . . the produce of the reciprocal industry and labor of both husband and wife, and of the estate which they may acquire during the marriage, . . ."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““When the separate property of either the husband or the wife has been increased or improved during the marriage, the other spouse, or his or her heirs, shall be entitled to the reward of one half of the value of the increase or ameliorations, if it be proved that the increase or ameliorations be the result of the common labor, expenses or industry; but there shall be no reward due, if it be proved that the increase is due only to the ordinary course of things, to the rise in the value of property, or to the chances of trade.” (Italics ours.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Abraham v.
