You would need to obtain a court judgment first. In addition to providing proof of the debt owed, you should provide the court with information regarding the transfer of the property and ask the court to consider it a fraudulant transfer to avoid a creditor. The court may agree with you and issue the lien.

Can a lien be placed on a joint account in which you are the secondary owner?

Liens are not placed upon bank accounts, they are legal instruments used to secure an interest in real property for repayment of debt. Bank accounts (even those jointly held) are subject to levy by a judgment creditor in all states. A joint bank account will be "frozen" by the court before any monies are withdrawn to allow a non debtor account holder to provide proof of what percentage of the funds belonging to them. The exception to levying of bank accounts by a judgment creditor are: If the account holds exempted funds such as SS benefits of any type; or other types of disability or pension benefits that are exempted under state or federal law such as RRB/RRD. If the account is held jointly by a married couple as Tenancy By The Entirety (TBE) and only one spouse is the judgment debtor.

Can a spouse have her name placed on your credit cards as a second card holder with out your authorization Can you be held financially liable for her debts in Florida these were not joint accounts?

Under Florida law a spouse cannot be held liable for debt repayment if the debt was not jointly incurred. The issue concerning the second card holder will need to be taken up with the creditor. If the couple were still legally married at the time, the creditor will probably accept the spouse's right to use the account. In which case the account holder will be held liable for all charges pertaining to the account in question.


Can a bank go after your husband if you consolidate your own credit card debts?

If you reside in a CP state all debts incurred during the marriage are considered joint regardless of which spouse is the account holder. If the debts were made by the debtor spouse before the marriage the 'innocent' spouse is not responsible for the debt(s). However, the joint marital bank account can be levied and/or liens placed against real property to the extent of the ownership of such by the debtor spouse. In non-community property states, the spouse who is the account holder is the only person responsible for the debt. However, a joint bank account not held as TBE can be levied by a judgment creditor as well as an encumberance of a lien against jointly owned marital property unless it is also held as TBE.
