The rules that govern debt incurred by one spouse in common law states is much different than the rules in community property states. So the answer is yes. Common law property states govern debts within a marriage as well as property.
In a common law property state debts that are incurred by one spouse are not usually the responsibility of the other unless the debt was for something that also benefitted the other spouse or the family.

How do you relinquish property rights in a community property state?
There are 9 community property states in the United States in which upon death or divorce of a spouse to a marriage, property acquired during marriage is split 50/50. If you wish to change the nature of community property then it must be in writing. Most common people will sign a prenuptial agreement and these are a valid way to alter the nature of property distribution. You can also do this during marriage but make sure that you see a lawyer about this as it is more complicated than you think and if you do it wrong then the community property presumption will apply and it will be distributed according to community property principals.
