The scope of permissible discovery is going to depend on a number of factors, including the nature of the credit dispute. You may want to retain an attorney in defending the lawsuit.

Generally, only your financial information is discoverable. You should refuse to provide your husband's information and let the other side take it before the court if they choose to. They will have to demonstrate the legality of their request before a court can order you to provide this information.
