If you fail to appear (after having been properly served with notice of the

lawsuit), the court will likely grant your creditor a default judgment against you

in the amount referenced on the warrant. Your creditor could then garnish any

wages that you may earn in the future but not those of your husband unless

he also had been named as a defendant in the creditor's lawsuit.
