Before DOUCET, YELVERTON and CULPEPPER[*], JJ.
DOUCET, Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment partitioning the community of acquets and gains formerly existing between the parties.
The plaintiff, Mary Ann Forman Fastabend, and the defendant, Carl Patrick Fastabend, M.D., were divorced by a judgment rendered on February 3, 1986. The judgment terminated the community of acquets and gains formerly existing between the Fastabends retroactive to September 25, 1985, the date that the petition for divorce was filed. On December 30, 1988, Mrs. Fastabend filed a petition to partition the community property. A hearing on the petition was held on August 30, 1989. On March 29, 1991, the trial judge rendered judgment partitioning the property as follows:

The defendant, Carl P. Fastabend, appeals.

RENTAL VALUE OF THE HOME
Dr. Fastabend contends that the trial court incorrectly set the rental value of the family home at the amount of the mortgage payment.
A trial judge has the discretion to order a spouse who has used or occupied the community owned family home to pay rent to the other spouse. La.R.S. 9:374(C), formerly La.R.S. 9:308(B). Rental value of property is a factual question.
When there is evidence before the trier of fact which, upon its reasonable evaluation of credibility, furnishes a reasonable factual basis for the trial court's finding, on review the appellate court should not disturb this factual finding in the absence of manifest error.
Canter v. Koehring Co., 283 So.2d 716 (La.1973).
In this case, each spouse had the exclusive use of the family home for a period of time prior to the partition of the community of acquets and gains. Mrs. Fastabend occupied the house for a period of 22 months; Dr. Fastabend for a period of 25 months.
At the hearing, Michael P. Terranova, a C.P.A., testified on behalf of Mrs. Fastabend as to the value of the community. He calculated the rental value of the house at $5,000.00. Daniel R. Plauche, a real estate appraiser, testified on behalf of Dr. Fastabend. He estimated the rental value of the house at $1,000.00 to $1,200.00 per month. However, it appears from his testimony that the property used by Plauche for comparison was not as large or as valuable as the Fastabend house, and lacked many of its design features.
After reviewing the evidence on this point, we cannot conclude that the trial court's determination of the rental value of the Fastabend home lacked a basis in fact, or was clearly erroneous.

REIMBURSEMENTS
Dr. Fastabend further contends that the trial court erred in treating the rent payments ordered and the mortgage payments made by Dr. Fastabend as assets and liabilities of the community rather than as reimbursements owed from the separate patrimony of each spouse.
Once the divorce becomes final, the community of acquets and gains ceases to exist. La.C.C. Art. 2356. Therefore, the obligation to pay rent for use of the home after the divorce is final cannot be a community asset. Each spouse must reimburse the other for one-half the amount of the rent ordered by the trial judge for the period of his or her use of the home. See Patin v. Patin, 462 So.2d 1356 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1985), writ denied, 466 So.2d 470 (La.1985). Neither could the amounts owed each of the parties because of his payment of the mortgage note be a community debt, because no community existed when he and she made those payments.
Further, each party must reimburse to the other one-half of the amount each paid on the mortgage note. As the court stated in Williams v. Williams, 509 So.2d 77, 80-81 (La.App. 1st Cir.1987):
Under LSA-C.C. art. 2365, appellant is entitled to be reimbursed for one-half of the separate funds used to pay community debts. The article prevents reimbursement if there were no community assets, but it does not purport to direct reimbursement to appellant from the mass of the community. In fact, the *798 jurisprudence has interpreted LSA-C.C. art. 2365 to permit appellant to be reimbursed from appellee's share of the community for one-half of payments made out of his separate estate. Sellers v. Landry, 489 So.2d 440 (La.App. 3rd Cir. 1986).
To adopt appellee's interpretation would lead to the inequitable result of appellant being "reimbursed" for one-half of the amounts he paid from funds of which he owns one-half. The net result would be that appellant would be responsible for seventy-five percent of the payments to maintain a community asset from which appellee would eventually derive one-half of the proceeds.
In order for plaintiff to receive his proper reimbursement, the trial court can either reimburse him the full amount he expended out of the gross community assets, or the court can first divide the gross community assets and then have appellee reimburse appellant out of her separate funds one-half the value of the separate property he expended. In either case the result would be the same. See Sellers v. Landry, supra.

Accordingly, the rent and mortgage payments were improperly listed as community assets and liabilities respectively. These amounts must be reimbursed by the parties from their separate estates.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE OF MEDICAL PARTNERSHIP
Dr. Fastabend further contends that the trial court erred in including the accounts receivable of Lake Charles Medical and Surgical Clinic in calculating the value of that medical partnership and his interest therein. Dr. Fastabend bases his argument on Article 12, Section E of the partnership agreement which states in pertinent part that:
No partner shall have or own any interest nor have any claim or right in and to the accounts receivable or any other asset of the partnership.
Dr. Fastabend argues that since he has no interest, claim, or right in the accounts receivable of the partnership, they cannot be included in calculating the value of his interest in the partnership.
We do not agree. Dr. Fastabend has no direct claim to the accounts receivable, and they are not a community asset. However, it is undisputed that the accounts receivable are an asset of the partnership itself. As such they must be used in calculating the value of the partnership. Nothing in the partnership agreement prevents this. It is the value of the partnership which forms the basis for the determination of Dr. Fastabend's interest in it. Dr. Fastabend's interest in the medical partnership is, to the extent acquired during the marriage, a community asset. Due v. Due, 342 So.2d 161 (La.1977). Accordingly, we find no error in the trial court's determination of Dr. Fastabend's interest in the medical partnership.

INTEREST ON COMMUNITY ASSETS
Dr. Fastabend finally argues that the trial court erred in imputing an interest rate of 8% on the community assets managed by him.
The trial court, in its written reasons for judgment, stated that:
The Court is convinced that the law requires that the former spouse having control and possession of any assets belonging to the community regime does owe a fiduciary duty to the former spouse who is not in control or possession. See Queenan v. Queenan, 492 So.2d 902 (La.App. 3rd Cir., 1986). Thus, all accounts that were in the control and possession Carl Patrick Fastabend should have been invested at the prevailing interest of eight (8%) percent.
We find the court's determination in this matter to be incorrect.
As this court stated in Barbin v. Barbin, 546 So.2d 609, 611 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1989):
We know of no theory of law that requires a former partner in community to invest community funds prior to partition so that they will earn interest in the interim between dissolution of the community and the date of partition. Plaintiff-appellant relies on the cases referred to by the trial court in its written reasons. *799 In those cases legal interest was allowed from the date of termination of the community under LSA-C.C. art. 1938 (now embodied in LSA-C.C. art. 2000) on any balance owed to one spouse to equalize their positions where the spouse owing the equalizing payment has been guilty of fraud in attempting to conceal or misrepresent facts concerning community property. (emphasis added.)
Since there is no evidence of fraud on the part of Dr. Fastabend, the trial court incorrectly assessed Dr. Fastabend with interest at the rate of 8% on cash accounts.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and rendered as follows:
