Yes.
they can, but you should file jointly and so they don't garnish the spouses part, file injured spouse, and I do not know why it is called that but I know my husband owes back support and that is how we have to file so I will get my part.
The one above, who erased my previous answer but goes on to say she doesn't really know what she is signing....well hope she qualifies or it could be criminal...
And no matter what, to avoid the issue, filing seperately is better. And no matter what...getting your spouse to pay their obligations, (like there taxes or supporting their kids) is better. And if your in a community property state, or the debt doesn't come from those very specific things, etc., etc., injured spouse won't work. Accepting it, and when the problem comes up...you'll have serious ones (probably after he abandons you like he apparently may have done to his last), or just fails to pay his taxes now too...maybe lies on them (the current ones YOU ARE responsible for).
You are an injured spouse if your share of the overpayment shown on your joint return was, or is expected to be, applied against your spouse's past-due federal debts, state taxes, or child or spousal support payments. If you are an injured spouse, you may be entitled to receive a refund of your share of the overpayment. For more information, get Form 8379, Injured Spouse Claim and Allocation.

Yes, that is the way a garnishment works. When the credit card company sues you for non-payment of debt, they win a judgment. The judgment can be a garnish on your paycheck or your bank account. It makes no difference who you have a bank account with if they were awarded the garnishment by court.

Can payday loan companies garnish wages in Arizona?
They can only garnish your wages if they took you to court and a judge ordered the garnishment via a judgement. The lender first off must be licensed to be able to take action against you in court. But the only entity who can garnish your wages without a court order is the federal government. No matter what you signed there must be due process. Hope this helps. David Schmidt, PLDR

Some states allow garnishment orders to be enforced when rendered in another state. Others have specific terms, and still others do not allow it. Not knowing the state of residency or the state the garnishment order might be ordered, a specific answer is not possible.
