Best Answer

A wife's (spouse's) money is only protected from the husband's (other spouse's) creditors if any of the following are true:

* The couple lives in a non-community property state and the loan/credit account is only in the husband's name

* The couple lives in a community property state, the loan/credit account is only in the husband's name, the loan existed before the marriage and has provably not been used in any way to benefit the wife
