    Default Wage Garnishment For Spouse's Debt

    I am in NJ and my wife got a call today threatening to garnish my wages for a student loan debt that she had prior to our getting married. Are they just trying to bully us in to agreeing to something or can they really garnish my wages for a debt she had before we were married?

    Default Re: Wage Garnishment For Spouses Debt?

    Technically, no, they cannot garnish your wages for your wife's student loan debt.

    What they CAN do, however, is obtain a judgment and put a lien on all of your joint assets.
