Lawsuit question?

If I am self-employed, they wouldn't be able to garnish wages as I do not receive a paycheck, correct?

The creditor can garnish if he has knowledge of your bank account.

If my husband and I have a home, but the mortgage is in his name only, would the creditors be able to place any type of lien on the property since the mortgage isn't in my name?

No, the creditor cannot put lien on the home if the mortgage is in your husband's name only. However, this can also depend on the state laws. If your's is a community property state, things can be handled differently.

A community property state is that where both the spouses are held liable for the debt incurred by the other during the marriage.

Huh?

Self employed cannot be garnished.

Bank accounts are easily found....they simply send papers to every bank and all the larger banks in your state. In most cases they get a hit.
