Best Answer

The only people liable for a debt are the ones who agreed to pay it, the original signers of the loan documents. Of course in the event of a death there could be a claim filed against the estate.

In some instances, yes they can. Is the spouse listed on the debt? An example would be a joint loan or credit card. If so, that makes the spouse legally liable for the debt. If not, then no, the wages cannot be garnished because the spouse is not legally liable for the debt.
