It would be possible for a judgment creditor to levy a marital bank account that was held as joint tenants. The non-debtor spouse would be responsible for submitting proof to the court the amount of funds which belonged to them. Likewise if the couple have jointly owned property a judgment creditor would be able to place a lien against the debtor's share, but a forced sale of said property would not be possible. What would determine if such action is possible is how the property is titled.

Could you have a judgment filed against you if you are married but separated?
If you are married, you are still a legal entity with the other person, so a judgment filed against them would also have your name on it. Be sure to include some verbiage in your divorce agreement about it, and if possible, arrange to have it paid from any joint monies before sorting out the settlement. Obtain a copy of the "paid" letter for your records.

Can they put a judgment against your property if only your nane is on the deed wife has a judgment against her?
It depends on your state: If you live in most community property states (Louisiana West through Texas, and on the California) a judgment against her may affect your property if it is deemed to be "community property" which is property acquired during the marriage. If you live in a common law state, and the state has maintained "tenants by the entireities" as the form in which married persons hold property, then the property is, in all likelihood, free from the lien of the judgment.

What does a credit card judgment mean?
The creditor has won a lawsuit judgment against the debtor(s) and can execute the judgment against any nonexempt property belonging to the debtor(s). The preferred method of judgment execution is wage garnishment followed by bank account levy, or seizure and sale of nonexempt property or a lien against real property. North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas do not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt. The exception is Texas where the court can grant wage garnishment if the debtor has no other property for which the judgment can be executed against. Married couples living in community property states are both usually responsible for debts incurred during the marriage regardless of which spouse is the account holder or borrower.
If your husband dies with a judgment against him what should you do with regard to the judgment?
Debts of a deceased person are addressed during probate procedure. All lenders are required to file a claim against the estate through the state's probate court. All US states have laws of succession (the manner in which an estate is distributed) with the surviving spouse and minor children being the first to be provided for. If the judgment is against the deceased spouse only and the married couple were not residents of a community property state the surviving spouse is not legally responsible for the judgment debt and it can be voided by the probate court or the surviving spouse. In some cases, no legal action is needed, the judgment becomes null and void upon the death of the debtor.
