Default Re: can court take your disabilty check to pay debt ?

They can try to seize his bank account or any account with his name on it.

Then you would have to argue in court about if the proceeds are disability etc.,--best to not have his name on the account.

See http://www.worldlawdirect.com/article/935 -- Collecting on a court judgment.
