I have been sued by my contractor who has put a lien on my home and is now threatening to levy my bank account. Both the law suit and bank account are in my husbands and
my name. If we open an account in a neighboring state can he stil touch it? Also, if I add a third party to the account can he touch it? Thanking you in advance for your answers.


Hi,

If the contractor won a judgment in your state, it won't be enforceable in another state. Thus, I don't think the contractor can garnish your account opened in another state. As for any account opened in your state, even if you add third party name to that account, it can be garnished.

Thanks
