In Nashville, TN can a spouse be held liable towrd husband's debt/judgement?
I gave a man $1500 to buy my daughter a car at an auction and he did not get the car, nor did he give me my money back. I took him to court and the judge said he had 10 days to pay me... which he did not show up in court (he called to get the outcome), and he still has not given me my money! The judge said if he does not pay me my money he will put a lien/levy on his property or vehicle(s) because he has a detail business and not a steady job.
Well, everything he owns is in his wife's name, and the general session's clerk said they can not put a lien on the property/cars because it is under his wife's name. I know, or at least I thought, that the laws were written for innocent citizens, not for criminals to become "successful" in their profession!
Does the marital interest plays a part in paying a debt?. I know if a husband owes toward child-support the wife's refund is collected toward the debt!
Seekin your knowledge.
Thanks
