If a joint checking account has a levy on it does it prevent the other owner from having direct deposit salary checks deposited?

any money can be deposited into a levied account. However regardless of who's money is deposited no one can withdrawl money from a levied account until the full amount of the levy is met and the levy has been removed. it's just my opinion but if you are part owner of a levied account I would make absolutely certain that your paycheck was no longer being direct deposited into that account.it can be pure misery trying to get that money back. Remember that if a creditor has taken the time and energy to go through the legal system to have a levy imposed, you can be certain they want all of the money they feel is owed them and they really don't care what your circumstances are or that the money didn't acually come from the acual debtor. As long as the debtors name is on the account they can take the money and you would have to go to court and prove that the money was yours.
