1. ““... La.R.S. 9:2801 provides in pertinent part that ‘[w]hen the spouses are unable to agree on a partition of community property or on the settlement of claims between the spouses arising from the matrimonial regime, either spouse, upon termination of the matrimonial regime, or as an incident of the action which would result in the termination of the matrimonial regime, may institute a proceeding, which shall be conducted in accordance with [La.R.S. 9:2801].’ Our jurisprudence states that this statute provides the mandatory procedure for the judicial partition of community property in settlement of claims arising from the matrimonial regime. Johnson v. Johnson, 473 So.2d 112 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1985); Hall v. Hall, 460 So.2d 1053 (La.App. 2nd Cir.1984). We also note that our jurisprudence does not favor the piecemeal partition of community assets through a judicial proceeding for partition. Johnson v. Johnson, supra; Hall v. Hall, supra; Daigre v. Daigre, 230 La. 472 , 89 So.2d 41 (1956).””
