Guarantor's Obligation Enforceable Against Marital Community Despite Lack of Spousal Consent

An individual who signed a promissory note as a guarantor for a business loan, without the knowledge or consent of their spouse, challenged the enforceability of the guarantee, asserting it fell under the marital regime protections requiring spousal consent for such obligations. The court rejected this claim, reasoning that the guarantee, while creating a personal obligation for the guarantor, was made in the interest of the marital community because the funds were used to purchase property benefiting both spouses, thus making the obligation enforceable against the community property despite the lack of spousal authorization.
