Re: Judgements
If you own the house with a spouse as tenants in the entirety, then the house is insulated unless the judgment is against both you and your spouse. If the judgment is against only one of you, then the house is safe.
If you own the property in any different way, such as a joint tenancy, then there may be some risk.
