CAutomatically donated to the community fund
DShared equally only after 5 years of marriage
Explanation
Under Louisiana's community property regime, civil fruits (rents, income) produced from separate property during the marriage become community property — even though the income-producing asset itself remains separate. This is a nuanced distinction in Louisiana matrimonial regimes.
