I am so sorry for your situation.  What your wife did was against the law.  It is known as "dissipation" of marital assets.  Have you spoken to an attorney yet because I think that it may be in your best interest to do so immediately.  The longer you wait the worse that things will become.  You need to start a divorce proceeding and ask the court to either order her to return the assets to their original worth and/or to restrain her from doing anything further with them that would be against your interests.  Louisiana is a Community Property state I believe so everything is divided equally: 50/50.  Get help.  Good luck.
