Best Answer

Yes. NJ is not a "debtor friendly" state. The exemptions allowed are very limited. Joint accounts can be seized in their entirety. The nondebtor account holder will need to file a petition in the court for return of his/her funds. The amount would depend on how state statutes govern joint banking accounts.

You can always open up a bank account in NY and so long as the balance is below $1700 no judgment unless by the State/FEDs can touch it.

Yes, joint accounts are subject to judgment levy.

Generally, the court will freeze the account until a decision is made concerning which monies are subject to levy.
