Fleitas v. Richardson 147 U.S. 550 (1893) was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that under the Louisiana Code the liability of the husband to the wife for her separate property received by him under the marriage contract is in the nature of a debt secured by mortgage of his lands and may be enforced by her by direct suit against him. It may also be extinguished by his discharge in bankruptcy.
