Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

marriage and prior debts

I am planning on getting married and my fiance has a student loan that has defaulted. The state is able to withhold her state income tax refunds and take money from her checking/savings account. After we are married, will they be able to keep my tax refunds and take money from our joint checking/savings account?
