No, but laws in each state differ. A property can be titled for one spouse and not the other. It's best to check with a title company in the state where the property is located. Sometimes, the spouse that has no interest in the property will have to sign a form stating stating this.

Yes, and regardless of your State, marital status, or any homestead exceptions. However, most credtiors can only put a judgment against the title of real property which are junior to a lien position. Exception would be any loans collateralize by the property and any trade service preformed on the property.
