Abstract

Property obligations of spouses is one of the fundamental issues of family law, which is characterized by a number of features. The purpose of this article is to define/distinguish the spheres of common and separate obligations of spouses, which in turn affects the scope of their property responsibility. It is worth noting the interest of the creditor towards the fulfillment of the obligation of debtor spouse/spouses - without taking it into consideration, the examination of the property obligations of spouses and conducting respective legal reasoning will not be justified,. It should be emphasized that in general, the property obligations of spouses also include the legal duty of mutual maintenance of spouses established by the Civil Code of Georgia and its regulatory norms, however, the purpose of this article is to separately examine the obligations of spouses not in the context of the alimony relationship, but in the context of the property regime.
