Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife
Article 94
ELI5— what this means for you
The ACP is liable for: family expenses (food, education, health), debts incurred jointly or for the benefit of the family, and personal debts of either spouse if the community property benefited. Both spouses' individual properties can also be made liable if ACP assets are not enough.
Key point
Your family's debts come first from ACP funds. Creditors can reach community property for family expenses.
