From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  purchase, gift or otherwise than by succession. Merlin Rep. h.t., confines
  acquets to immovable property.
      2. In Louisiana they embrace the profits of all the effects, of which
  the husband has the administration and enjoyment, either of right or in
  fact, of the produce of the reciprocal industry and labor of both husband


  and wife, and of the estates which they may acquire during the marriage,
  either by donations, made jointly to them both, or by purchase, or in any
  other similar way, even although the purchase be only in the name of one of
  the two, and not of both, because in that case the period of time when the
  purchase is made is alone attended to, and not the person who made the
  purchase. Civ. Code, art. 2371.
      3. This applies to all marriages contracted in that state, or out of it,
  when the parties afterward go there to live, as to acquets afterward made
  there. Id. art. 2370.
      4. The acquets are divided into two equal portions between the husband
  and wife, or between their heirs at the dissolution of their marriage. Id.
  art. 2375.
      5. The Parties may, however, lawfully stipulate there shall be no
  community of profits or gains. Id. art. 2369.
      6. But the parties have no right to agree that they shall be governed by
  the laws of another country. 3 Martin's Rep. 581. Vide 17 Martin's Rep. 571
  2 Kent's Com. 153, note.
