Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland

Re: Judgement collection

That depends on where you live. Maryland still protects property owned by married couples and titled as "tenancy by the entireties." In other words, debts which are not joint debts by you and your current wife cannot be forcibly satisfied by property owned by you and your current wife. However, not all states follow that rule.

Simply put, if the judgment is obtained in Maryland, your ex-wife will have to then transfer the judgment to a state where you hold assets (real property, personal property, bank accounts, etc.) If you currently own real property in Maryland that is not jointly held with your current wife, your ex-wife will be able to very easily enforce her judgment. However, if all of your assets are located in another state, the laws of that state will determine how difficult it is to collect on the judgment. You'll have to ask an attorney that practices in the states in which you hold assets.
