Indiana Wage Garnishment: Can Creditors Target Your Spouse for Medical Bills?
No. Indiana is a community property state, meaning debts incurred by one spouse are not automatically the other's responsibility. A creditor cannot garnish your spouse's wages for your individual medical bills.
Exception: If both spouses are jointly liable (co-signed, joint account), garnishment may be possible.
