Is the petitoning spouse responsible for the other per the I864 financial support affidavit?

This is regarding immigration form I 751. If the petitioning spouse does not sign the I-751 form and the conditional permanent resident is granted permission to stay, is the petitioning spouse still responsible for this person per the I864 financial support affidavit?

Obligations under an I-864 will end once the lawful permanent resident you signed for becomes a U.S. citizen; has worked, or can be credited with, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act; no longer has lawful permanent resident status, and has departed the United States; becomes subject to removal, but applies for and obtains in removal proceedings a new grant of adjustment of status, based on a new affidavit of support, if one is required; or dies. The obligations also end upon the death of the sponsor. A divorce or separation does not end your obligations under the I-864.
