Are you responsible for your spouses medical bills in Oregon?

Yes, you are responsible for your spouse's medical bills in Oregon. Under Oregon law, spouses are jointly and severally liable for each other's debts. This means that either spouse can be held responsible for the entire debt, even if the other spouse did not incur it.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, you may not be responsible for your spouse's medical bills if the debt was incurred before you were married, if you are living separately from your spouse, or if you have a valid prenuptial agreement that says otherwise.

If you are concerned about your liability for your spouse's medical bills, you should talk to an attorney.
