If you don't pay then the lawyer that is handling the lawsuit will get a judgment from the court and they will have to enforce it by garnishing wages, levying bank accounts, putting a lien on the real property you own, etc. If the spouse is not on the account and the lawsuit is against the husband only then the judgment will be against the husband. You might still have time to answer the court complaint and gain some more time to work out some other deal or have the matter go to a trial.
