∙ 14y agoA civil suit judgment is against the person who is named in the lawsuit. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the wife would not be liable for the payment.
YES, if they get a judgment against you, garnishment is next.
If the wife has no interest in the property, meaning that her name was never on title, then she doesn't own it. If she doesn't own it...they cannot take the property away from her. I would reccomend a title search to make sure that she was never on any deeds. Good luck.
If both persons were sued and a judgment awarded but only the husband filed bankruptcy and included the debt; the judgment can still be executed against any non-exempt property belonging to the wife and perhaps jointly owned property as well. The legal presumption is that the debt is still owed because it was jointly incurred.
In california? My wife got fined $230!!
I am not a lawyer but, if your wife has been ordered by the court to pay up, she has to pay up. If she fails to pay, start by contacting the clerk of courts and tell them the situation. It won't cost you any money assuming she truly has a judgment against her.
In a tenancy by the entireties, property is owned by both spouses collectively. Therefore, if a judgment is entered against one spouse, it typically cannot attach to the property held as tenants by the entireties. This is because creditors generally cannot access property held in this manner to satisfy the debt of one spouse.
It depends on your state: If you live in most community property states (Louisiana West through Texas, and on the California) a judgment against her may affect your property if it is deemed to be "community property" which is property acquired during the marriage. If you live in a common law state, and the state has maintained "tenants by the entireities" as the form in which married persons hold property, then the property is, in all likelihood, free from the lien of the judgment.
No. Only legal government debts can be used against your refund in the FMS refund offset program
Yes in most cases there will be a consequence. The spouse is considered to have benefited from the assets of the other.
The husband and wife are seen as one person in the eyes of the court. If the husband incurs a debt, the wife shares it. They should not be able to take your home, unless that was the collateral for whatever the case was about.
No, you don't have to, but if you take the responsibility it is your license that will get the points placed against it.
