How long after decree of final divorce do I pay spousal support?

I hate to say it, but it depends.  You need to bring your paperwork to an attorney asap and they may need to file a motion to clarify.  "Generally" (and I do mean generally), there is a cap placed on the number of payments you'll have to make.  As to division of assets, thats covered under article 9:2801 et seq and is also "generally" a separate filing (its an ordinary proceeding versus a summary proceeding) and has some different rules.  You can file a Petition for Partition of Property, but make sure you have the documents ready to do you detailed descriptive list as well.  This is important since the Court is going to peruse YOUR list and compare it to HER list and do the math...you need to be able to back up your numbers.  I generally hire an expert to appraise the contents and the house so that I can attach those appraisals to any motions I may have or introudce them at the time of trial.  You can read  the Louisiana code below: http://www.legis.la.gov/Legis/Law.aspx?d=107289
