If the common matrimonial property is divided before a common matrimonial property obligation has been discharged, the spouse who, at the time of the division, did not have such a liability is also personally liable to the creditor as a joint and several debtor. Their liability is limited to the objects allocated to them; the provisions of sections 1990 and 1991 that govern the liability of the heir are to be applied accordingly.
