Might be. Depends on the character of the property and whether the property is exempt.

Your separate property can't be touched, but a joint bank account can be seized or garnished.

If the arrearage has been confirmed already and he's on a payment plan, you probably don't have much to worry about except that a refund on a jointly filed tax return will very likely be diverted to pay for child support.
