I'm not 100% sure I understand your question. I'm not really comprehending why he has liability at all for the actions of a minor child that doesn't belong to him. Are there allegations that he allowed her to consume alcohol on the premises? In any event, you are not liable for a judgment against your spouse alone. You cannot be named as a defendant and the only effect it may have on you is that a judgment (if granted) may attach to jointly owned property.

No not unless you were providing the minor girl with alcohol yourself.
