The present law regarding liability for property owned by the obligor spouse after divorce if the court orders the other spouse to pay the debt on that property is: All property owned by the obligor spouse after division at divorce is still liable on the debt incurred, even if the court orders the other spouse to pay the debt. The community property of the nonobligor spouse awarded at divorce is not liable for the debts assigned to the obligor spouse unless there is a lien in favor of the creditor. The pre-divorce separate property of the nonobligor spouse is liable for payment of a debt if the nonobligor spouse is ordered to pay the debt.
