Hi Jeff,
Sorry to hear about all that has occurred.
You say you are judgement proof, but please answer the following:
Is your name on title for the home you own free and clear?
Does your wife work?
Are any of the debts in her name?
If you are served with papers you should definitely speak with an attorney and find out what your options are. Unfortunately, your assets (things you hold in your name) can be found by aggressive collectors and attorneys through software they subscribe to which can make you a more likely target for court actions being filed in order to collect.
