The husband and wife are seen as one person in the eyes of the court. If the husband incurs a debt, the wife shares it. They should not be able to take your home, unless that was the collateral for whatever the case was about.
Yes in most cases there will be a consequence. The spouse is considered to have benefited from the assets of the other.
If both persons were sued and a judgment awarded but only the husband filed bankruptcy and included the debt; the judgment can still be executed against any non-exempt property belonging to the wife and perhaps jointly owned property as well. The legal presumption is that the debt is still owed because it was jointly incurred.
If the husband was not liable for the debt, then his wages cannot be garnished to collect on the judgment. The judgment is against the person who incurred the debt.
In a tenancy by the entireties, property is owned by both spouses collectively. Therefore, if a judgment is entered against one spouse, it typically cannot attach to the property held as tenants by the entireties. This is because creditors generally cannot access property held in this manner to satisfy the debt of one spouse.
YES, if they get a judgment against you, garnishment is next.
A civil suit judgment is against the person who is named in the lawsuit. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the wife would not be liable for the payment.

In the state of Texas, if there are no children, the judgement stands, and the amount of the judgement would be handed down to the father, if he is the husband's only heir. This can however be taken to court and disputed.
Generally yes, against the husband's interest only. However, they would need to find the property first and obtain a judgment in Connecticut.

If both parties are named in the judgment, then a lien can be placed against the property of either or both parties. There may be, however, the possibility of appeal and removal of one party due to the dissolution of marriage.
If there is a default judgment against you, you will be responsible for the charges. Your wages could be garnished if you do not pay or set up a payment arrangement.
