What is the name of your state? Kansas

I am in the process of a divorce. I have been a stay at home mom the entire 14 yr marriage and am currently looking for employment. My only income right now is child support and spousal support. I deposit the checks into a checking account so I can pay the bills. A credit card company has informed me that they are filing suit against me and will be garnishing my bank account. Can they garnish my account when the only money that is ever deposited in it is from child support and spousal support???
I am barely scraping by as it is until I can find a job, so there is no possible way that I can make any payments to them right now.
