The new spouse would not be directly responsible for the debt owed but, he or she could be affected by the execution of the judgment writ, as it is usually possible for joint marital property to be attached under such circumstances. For example, a joint marital bank account could be subject to levy by a judgment creditor unless the account is protected by Tenancy By The Entirety laws.
