Legal Question in Banking Law in New Jersey

Joint Account - Court Order

My husband and I have a joint checking and savings account - we live in NJ. We recently had a hold placed on our savings account and a court order based on an old debt from my husband during a previous marriage took what little savings we had ( $4000.00). My husband is not employed and all our income stems from me - can I appeal this decision? If I open a single account, can they still do this because we are married?

If the debt is his personal debt and the money is all yours, you can oppose the turnover of funds by filing the appropriate papers with the court.
