What is the name of your state? INDIANA
If someone buys a vehicle and puts it in wifes maiden name (they are not yet married), then a couple months later they marry, does it become both parties debt after marriage? We have a civil judgement against someone and he has been putting all assets in wifes maiden name. I was told that in a bankruptcy situation all debts become joint when married. Does the same apply to hiding the assets? Does this include any bank accounts? We would love to put a lien against the nice shiny truck.

Haul him into court for an examination of judgment debtor. He will have to answer for where he got the dough to buy his sweetie the ride.
