I am being sued as an individual for a business transaction that went south. Can my wife be sued as well even if she had no dealings or contact with the accuser? Case is based in NY

Probably not. But to be certain would require more details.

I conqueror with my colleague. Though, under the U.S. legal system, unfortunately anyone can be sued for almost anything. There are scenarios where a wife can be sued. If for example the wife is aiding the husband in some manner, property that is the subject of litigation is owned by both the husband and wife or transfer of property has been made from husband to wife.

You should consult an attorney who would be able to examine the facts and circumstances.

Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience.
