Legal Question in Banking Law in Virginia

Banking Garnishment

Hello, a judgement has been placed against me. I have my paycheck deposited into my wife's checking account; however i am not on the account. Can the account be garnished? What about any other account she would open (no direct deposit)?

Thank you
