My husband smokes marijuana and drives under the influence of the drug. If he injures or kills someone doing this will I be open to being sued? Could anything in both of our names be taken? What can I do to protect myself since I cannot change his behavior.




relax. driving under the influence of cannabis is not the world’s best idea, but it’s certainly safer than driving drunk.
to answer your question–it depends if you live in a community property state or a seperate property state–if it’s the latter then you’re okay, a judgment can not extend to property that you own by yourself.
