Can earned income be taken from the spouse that does not owe child support?

No. Only biological parents are responsible for the financial support of their minor children.
Please keep in mind, even though a non-obligatory spouse cannot be held directly responsible for child support obligations, in most instances joint bank accounts can be levied or joint property can be encumbered by a lien if there are support arrearages.
That being the case, the non-obligatory spouse would likely be affected by such a judgment.
