no none will be at risk.

Absolutely incorrect.In community property states, any property that has not been kept solely separate -- and some that has been -- may be attached in a law suit.

Even in non-CP states, any interminlging of funds may attach both estates.

It depends on the jurisdiction and the laws in place. In some cases, a spouse's assets may be at risk if the other spouse is sued, especially if they are considered marital assets. It is always best to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific implications in your situation.
