Legal Question in Administrative Law in New York

I live in NY. I believe that a civil judgement may be made against me. I currently have a joint account with my wife. I understand that this account is fair game and that I cannot move funds into her name as it would be considered fraud.

However, currently, her direct deposit is applied to this joint account and checks solely in her name are deposited in this account. If we change the direct deposit going forward to an account solely in her name would this be considered a fraudulent move. The same goes for our tax return. Can I safely have it deposited into an account exclusively in her name to protect these funds from the judgement?
