    If my car gets repossed, can my husbands paycheck get garnished for the remaining debt even though my car is in my name only?

    Hello t:

    It depends.. If you live in a community property state, your debt is his debt. Whether you live in one of those states, if you share a bank account with your husband, that account is subject to seizure.

    Before they do any of that, however, they need to get a judgment against you, and you'll get plenty of notice before that goes down.
