[CLBS] enforcement of judgment against non-filing spouse.

Facts:  Creditor obtains a judgment against the husband only.  The debt sued on was only in husband's name.  Subsequently, the wife files a Chap. 7 bankruptcy and gets a discharge.  The husband does not file.  Out of caution, the wife lists the judgment creditor in Sch. F.

Question:  Would it be a violation of the wife's discharge injunction for the judgment creditor to now proceed with garnishment of the husband's wages?

Any thoughts, opinions or authority would be appreciated.
