Advice Is Needed Regarding Judgment On Ex
Hello everyone:
My ex-husband was recently issued a judgment by default (they never served him). We found out by them wiping out our joint account to which we kept open for the sole purpose of transferring the child support payment, and his personal checking account.
I lost my job over this entire ordeal. I was working for a presitgious accounting firm to which I had access to clients accounts and personal information (Doctors, Lawyers, etc). Since this all transpired, I am now considered a "liability", and was relieved of my position.
He had attempted to file a motion to vacate, however not knowing the court rules for WA State, he didn't file correctly and the judge denied his motion.
He has since retained counsel for Chapter 7, however new laws in WA require him to enroll in a debt class (which he has now done as of today) prior to filing with the court.
The lowball attorney has recently filed yet another writ of garnishment with the clerk as of yesterday, and I'm concerned he may now be coming after my own bank account. (Is this possible?)
The judgment itself states Mr and Jane Doe ****** Husband and Wife etc.. My question is, do they have the legal right in WA to subject my personal income/monies to garnishment in his matter, since we're divorced?
His original line of credit was opened before he knew me, and closed as well, and we've been divorced since '05. No Pre-nup.
Can they levy my funds as well?
Thank you in advance for the assistance, I greatly appreciate it.
