The state I live in is Louisiana, and it is a community property state. What happens if you get married in another state just to avoid these laws, then go back to the CP state to avoid these laws, is this possible?

Everything you buy and own are considered community property in the state you reside in. It doesn't matter where you get married.

Probably not. Your question involves subject matter jurisdiction, or in other words, the appropriate court to hear a matter. This court will typically be the one in which the married couple are residents. The state were you got married has very little interest in presiding over such matters as its own citizens are its concern. For example, if you get married in Jamaica, you wouldnt return there for a divorce. You would have it in your resident state.

Just get a prenuptial agreement saying that everything you buy during the marriage will be considered yours after the marriage. Also, you could buy the property and have it put in someone else name.

it is not significant. in case you reside in CA and document for divorce in that state, those are the guidelines that take result, not the place you get your license. in case you have a prenup then you definitely might desire to be high quality. in my opinion, he would not sound that dedicated to me.
