Opinion
No. 97-C-3154
January 30, 1998
IN RE: Aymond, Carol J. Jr.; — Plaintiff(s); Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review; Parish of Avoyelles 12th Judicial District Court Div. "B" Number 96-2812-B; to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Number CA97-0319
Writ granted in part. The lower court's judgments sustaining Mrs. Aymond's exception of no cause of action is reversed in part. A portion of Mr. Aymond's reconventional demand stated a cause of action pursuant to Civil Code article 2354. Actions brought pursuant to Civil Code article 2354 specifically fall under the exception to La.R.S. 9:291. Therefore, Mr. Aymond's cause of action for alleged fraudulent management of community property is not barred by the spousal immunity statute. Otherwise, the writ is denied.
