Re: consent judgment
I assume that you are talking about a judgment in favor of a third peron on a debt. I believe that you could commit to the consent judgment against yourself which would be collectible from your and your husband's community property. But, he would have had to be present or represented by a lawyer for the judgment to be against him.
