Greetings, Ontour, and welcome. You asked:

<<can the courts make you use your 401k to pay debts >>

No, your 401k plan assets are exempt from the claims of creditors. Unless, of course, that creditor is an ex-spouse who is claiming a court-ordered division of the 401k as a result of divorce. :-)

Regards..Pixy
