from the debtor spouse's interest in the residence of the spouses. Neither
spouse's interest in community property or separate property shall be liable
for the separate debt of the other spouse.
(b) This Section shall apply only while both spouses are living, and
shall not apply to the satisfaction of debts after the death of one or both
