I was never told of a court date!!!

I by myself made a contract that went defaulted due to no job, for that reason I cannot get a divorce no money anyway, I was the only one that signed that contract and early this year I was summoned with my name and a John Doe as well. I responded to the lawyer saying that I am a single mother and I live with my sister and could only pay 50.00 per month he responded saying that wasn't enough and sent me a garnishing letter the funny thing is he didn't garnish my paycheck but my husbands. We have been separated for more than 5 years and do not have bank accounts together the only thing is the house. Is that even legal? Because my husband was never named in the summons until I received the letter of garnishment I never even received a letter to appear in court.. Is this lawyer doing everything by the law or not I am in Arizona?
