Article 204 Title VI, Chapter 6 of the Civil Code of the Philippines

Article 204: Debts contracted by either spouse without the consent of the other shall be chargeable against the community to the extent that the family may have been benefited thereby.


EXPLANATION:
                    To the extent that the family is benefited, the community property is answerable even if the debt is incurred by only one spouse without the consent of the other; and to the extent that the family is not benefited, only the separate property of the spouse concerned will be answerable.
