I live in Ohio and just received a notice that a judgement has been granted against me. I know that they can garnish wages, but what else can they go after? I don't have a checking account, my paychecks are deposited into my wife's bank account which is under her maiden name (my name is not on the account at all; not because of debt, we have had it set up this way for a long time). We do own a house, but it is solely under her name, it was purchased on her credit. The only asset I really have is my car, which is an old 2001 Pontiac that is only worth about $1000 if sold. The debt is approximately $2500. I got behind after I was laid off a couple of years ago and could never catch back up. I can't lose the car, because I need it to get to work. We also have 2 small children and another on the way. They have sent a form for me to possibly attend a hearing on May 26 to make my case for how much they may garnish, etc. Please help! Really need some advice on this one. I also want to make sure they can't touch my wife's personal assets.
