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.

If real property is held by husband and wife as tenants by the entireties does a judgment against one attach to the property?

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.
