Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland
I have a judgment for 531K against a defendant. He filed for bankruptcy and the judgment was later determined non dischargable. The defendant owns a property with his wife and the property is titled tenants by the entierty. Is is possiable to foreclose my judgement lien? or go after his share? This is in Maryland

If the judgment is against the husband only, it does not attach to the entireties property, and as long as the wife remains alive and they remain married, you cannot go after that property. You can still garnish wages and other property that is not exempt.
