    No, they may get a attachment for joint bank accounts, and you would have to prove what money in it is yours

    Hello Jamaih,

    That may depend on where you are located. Please be careful for if you live in a community property state this can be tricky. Perhaps your question would be better served if posted in the Family Law section. Good luck to you.

    FrChuck is correct - no. It is not your debt nor is it a joint debt.

    Coming up with the child support figure is another story.

    Who actually pays it? It's your husband's debt. BEWARE of joint accounts because you could spend a lot of time and energy proving what is yours and what is his - and lose in the end.
