A spouse who may avail himself of the benefit of article 1483, second paragraph, does not contribute more than his emolument to the debts which entered the community under the head of the other spouse, unless they are debts for which he would have owed a reward.
A spouse who has paid in excess of the portion for which he was liable by application of the preceding articles has recourse against the other spouse for the excess.
He has no recourse against the creditor for this excess, unless the receipt expresses that he intends to pay only up to the limit of his obligation.
Whichever of the two spouses is sued for the whole of a community debt by the effect of a mortgage on the property which has fallen to him in partition, has by right his recourse against the other for half of that debt. .
The provisions of the preceding articles shall not prevent a clause in the partition, without prejudice to the rights of third parties, from obliging either spouse to pay a proportion of debts other than that fixed above, or even to pay the liabilities in full.
In the event of dissolution of the community, the heirs of the spouses exercise the same rights as the spouse they represent and are subject to the same obligations.

Where the spouses agree that there shall be community of movables and acquests between them, the common assets shall include, in addition to the property which would form part of them under the regime of legal community, the movable property of which the spouses had ownership or possession on the day of the marriage or which has fallen to them since then by succession or gift, unless the donor or…
Under this regime, in addition to the debts that would form part of it under the legal regime, a fraction of the debts of which the spouses were already burdened when they married, or of which they are burdened by successions and gifts that fall to them during the marriage, are included in the joint liabilities. The fraction of liabilities that the community must bear is proportional to the fraction…
The debts for which the community is liable in consideration of the property it receives are definitively its responsibility.
