my husband was arrested this afternoon. All they tell me is that it is a civil suit and i have to pay 16, 000. He is having his paycheck garnished for a car that was around that amount for the past two years. what can i do?:confused

I suspect he was arrested for either violating a court order or for some kind of theft or embezzlement. he was not arrested for a civil suit.

I suggest you engage an attorney on his behalf.
