Can a spouse's retirement account be garnished?

Yes, a spouse's retirement account can be garnished under certain circumstances, such as for unpaid debts, child support, or alimony obligations. However, specific laws and regulations vary by state, and retirement accounts often have protections under Federal Laws, like ERISA, which may prevent garnishment. In cases of divorce, retirement accounts may be divided through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). It's advisable to consult a legal expert for guidance in such situations.
