Can law firm sue me for credit card debt that is in my husband’s name only?
Trouble in Texas asked:
My husband got a credit card during our marriage and we always paid on time but due to job layoff and illness we fell behind.We are both working now but make only enogh money to pay for the bare necessities.So now he’s had an arbitration award made against him. In the state of Texas (community property and family code laws) will they come after me since I did not sign the application? Should I get a separate bank account in my name only to protect my wages? Can he direct deposit his paycheck into his sister’s account or will the creditors find out from his employer his sister’s bank account info and freeze his money and his sister’s too?Direct deposit is mandatory at his company. Please help we are not deadbeats. We’re just having a hard time right now.
