Re: judgement
Yes, they could put a lien on the house, but if you
hold title to the property by what the law calls TENANTS BY THE ENTIRETIES, your judgment creditor will not be able to enforce the judgment against you by foreclosing on the house as long as your husband is not included in it(the judgment).
