Re: Libel suit

Your facts are a bit sketchy, so a general answer: the person has a judgment against them is responsible for the judgment. There are circumstances where a spouse's might be liable to the person holding the judgment and if you think your case might fall in one of these categories, then contact an attorney and specify why you think so.
