2005The third circuit held in Bordelon v. Cobb, 596 So.2d 268 (La.App. 3 Cir.1992) that the appropriate time in which to assert a right for reimbursement is governed by La.Civ.Code art. 3499, which states that a "personal action is subject to a liberative prescription of ten years." A reimbursement claim is not embedded in the partition of the community property and, therefore, is not governed by principles of co-ownership.
