22 July 2009 My husband works in a private firm in Mumbai. My father-in-law runs his own auto spare parts firm, it is a partnership firm with my mother-in-law where her name is there only for records purposes, but for all practical purposes, the firm is run by my father-in-law. The firm has made huge business losses in the past 4-5 years. The creditors are calling up constantly and my father-in-law has decided to sell his house and assets to pay the creditors. However the amount will still not be enough to repay all the creditors.

I am concerned if my husband's assets can also get attached. He is not involved in the business and is a salaried employee in a firm. Please advise.
