Yes. That's why no one should open a joint account with someone who owes child support. At least half of the balance at the time of the lien can be frozen.

Can your husband's ex sue you or use your income for child support?

No. Child support is the responsibility of the biological parent who is named in the support order. It is possible for a joint bank account or other property be attached for payment of support to the extent of amount owned by the person ordered to pay the support, including liens against real property. In addition in community property states the court will often allow an entire bank account of a married couple to be garnished for child support that is owed by only one of the spouse's. The safest option is for the new spouse to have a separate account not a joint marital account.

Can they take money out of your account for child support if you marry someone who is obligated to pay child support?

If the account is joint it can be levied to the extent of funds that belong to the non compliant parent. The joint holder would have to provide proof to the court of the percentage of funds belonging to them to prevent said funds from being levied. The best solution if for the spouse who is not obligated for support to have an account in their name only and hold only funds belonging to them in this account. Never attempt to deposit funds of the non compliant parent into an account held by someone else in order to avoid a levy for child support. Likewise never attempt to transfer property owned by the non compliant parent to avoid attachment for child support arrearages.
