Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

For several years I have tried to settle a Judgment that is "against me only". The Judgment does NOT include my wife. It was an old student loan of "mine alone" that does NOT include my wife, that a collection agency bought from ASA teri loan. Our home is collectively in my wife "and" my name. I have nothing in my name only. Can we sell our home without attachment of the funds from the sale of our home under the Missouri Law "tenants by the entireties"? We went to the Court House and they show the Judgment, but no lien against our home.

The judgment is an automatic lein that the title insurer will likely pick up on. If the buyer (or their lender) accepts buying the property subject to the lien, then you can sell without paying it.

Good luck
