94 THE FAMILY
199 A consort who, by the effect of a hypothec upon an
immoveable that has fallen to his share, is sued for the whole
of a debt of the community, has of right recourse against the
other consort or his heirs for one-half the debt.
200 The preceding articles do not preclude any clause in the
partition obliging one of the consorts to pay a share of the
debts other than that determined above, or even to pay all the
debts, without prejudice to the rights of third parties.
201 When the community is dissolved, the heirs of the
consorts exercise the same rights and are subject to the same
obligations as the consorts they represent.
VI - Renunciation of the community and its effects
202 If the spouse of the administrator renounces, he may not
claim any share in the property of the community, not even in
the moveable property he brought into it.
203 The spouse who renounces the community takes back:
1. his private property or property that has been acquired
in replacement;
2. the price of his private property that has been alienated
or any money received in replacement and not invested
or reinvested;
3. any compensation that may be due to him from the
community.
204 The spouse who renounces is freed from any contribution
to the debts of the community, with respect to both the
administrator and the creditors.
He remains bound, however, by all debts personally
assumed.
205 He may exercise all the rights and reprises enumerated
