Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Alabama

I have a credit card that is in my name and my husbands name is on the bill also, each of us have been served a summons paper on the account, it has been sent to a law firm now and we have a court date.

I was wandering if the creditors can garnish my husbands wages since his name is on the bill also. I don't remember when i got the card if my husbands name was a joint owner, but i know that he could use the card since he had one in his name also
