If there was a court case and they took a judgment against you, they have a right to garnish your paycheck.

If the judgment was entered in error, you need to go back to court to have the judgment vacated.

It seems as though both of you were liable on the debt and they sued both of you but only got the judgment against you because she wasn't served and so the court did not have authority over her.

In any case, if a creditor gets a judgment against two people, it doesn't have to garnish both.

They can pick and choose.
