If my husband has a judgement against himself and his business can they take marital property such as furniture? Can they garnish his wages since he started a new job? In pa

There is no wage garnishment in Pennsylvania for most types of debts. So it would depend on what the judgment is for.
Marital personal/real property is generally safe from seizure for a debt owed by one spouse only.
You mention the husband's business. Exemptions only apply to persons, not businesses generally. Is the business incorporated? What does it own? Does it have a bank account?
How much is the judgment for? How is your husband planning on resolving the judgment? if your husband is interested in resolving his debt in a non-bankruptcy context, please have him contact me at [email protected].
