Yes. If you are sued and judgment awarded against, your wages can be garnished. Well, sort of... Florida is what is known as a "debtor friendly" state. Assets that can be attached by creditors are limited.For example, wage garnishment for the head of household.. the first $500 is exempt. Anything above the $500 can be garnished only with the written consent of the debtor. As you can see this makes it pretty difficult for the creditor. Marital bank accounts cannot be garnished. Under Florida law they are protected by the Tenancy By the Entirety Statute. Other bank accounts can be garnished, but with strict limitations.

In California, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) generally have some protection from creditors, including in bankruptcy proceedings. However, this protection can vary based on the type of IRA and the circumstances of the lawsuit. While traditional and Roth IRAs are typically protected up to a certain limit under federal law, additional state laws may apply, which could affect the level of protection. It's advisable to consult with a legal expert for specific situations.
Absolutely. It being exempt from creditors is a main benefit of qualified retirement accounts. Not "absolutely." Properly established IRAs are protected up to one million dollars, and a bankruptcy court can extend that higher. Any money that you withdraw from an IRA, unless it is all placed in another IRA or a 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan, is not protected.
In California, retirement pensions and savings are generally protected from creditors seeking a deficiency judgment. California law provides certain exemptions for retirement accounts, such as 401(k)s, IRAs, and pension plans, which can help shield those assets from creditors. However, it's important to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific rules and limitations that may apply in your situation.
