1994In Oppenheim v. Bouterie, 505 So.2d 100 (La.App. 4 Cir.1987) this Court quoted the case of Guillory v. Guillory, 339 So.2d 529, 531 (La.App. 4 Cir.1976) to the effect that "... attorney's fees incurred by the wife in prosecuting a suit for separation from bed and board or divorce is an obligation of the community which ... must be paid out of community assets on a quantum meruit basis...." The application of community property law to a claim for attorney's fees is irrelevant to Mr. Williams' claim for attorney's fees from an unrelated third party.
