Re: Default Judgments
As long as the husband is not in any way, shape or form a party to or liable in any way for this established debt, his wife's premarriage creditors should not be able to attach these jointly held funds.(BEWARE, nevertheless, of the judgment creditor's attempts to attach the funds, anyway, which may be successful due to inadvertence or incompetence on the part of the bank.)
