Liability for reserved or separate property

The common matrimonial property is not liable for an obligation arising in the person of that spouse who does not manage the common matrimonial property during the period of community of property as the result of a right that is part of the reserved property or the separate property or of the possession of a thing that belongs to such property. However, the common matrimonial property is liable if the right or the thing is part of a trade or business which the spouse independently operates with the consent of the other spouse, or if the obligation is part of the burdens of the separate property that are customarily paid from the income.
