Du Partage de la Communauté après l'acceptation

Family Law
Titre XIX: Du Contrat de Mariage (On the Marriage Contract)
Chapitre IV: Du Partage de la Communauté après l'acceptation (On the Partition of the Community After Acceptance)

La femme ou ses héritiers ne peut être poursuivie que pour la moitié des dettes de la communauté, à moins qu'elle ne s'y fût obligée solidairement avec son mari ; dans ce cas, elle a son recours contre lui ou son héritier pour la moitié.

Life lesson: The wife's liability for community debts is capped at half — unless she co-signed for the full amount.
Notes: Wife's limited external liability: half only. Exception: solidary obligation = full liability with half recourse.
