Wife can be a judgment debtor?
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2004 3:11 pm
Those gurus in community asset protections:
H breached a construction contract while married to W.
W had nothing to do with it execpt for that she was married to H.
H & W filed for Ch7, got it discharged in 12/2003. (no asset case)
H gets into a new contract with a new customer, defaults on it, and got sued.
W was a named defendant.
I understand that W's asset (a community asset) is liable for the H's wrong doing (Fam. Code 910(a)). Not necessarily be jointly and severally responsible as a party to a judgment. Am I right?
H and W has filed for a divorce in 07/2004. (no asset to be divide, mutual divorce)
Is there a way that W can avoid judgment in this pending civil lawsuit?
