You need to consult with a local attorney if there is any
significant amount of money in your husband's bank account.
However, if the judgment is against you as an individual and
your name is not on the checking account at all, in most
states you should be OK. They may be able to go after
property that is owned jointly with your husband but a bank
account that is in his name only should be untouchable
unless they show to a court that you have transferred your
money into his account for the purpose of avoidance.
