Are you legally responsible for the medical bills of your living spouse in PA?

Yes, in Pennsylvania, spouses are liable for each other's medical bills. This means that if one spouse incurs medical debt, the other spouse may be held responsible for paying the bill, even if they did not receive any medical treatment themselves.

This law applies to both married and common law married couples. It also applies to spouses who are separated or divorced, but have not yet filed for a legal separation or divorce.

The amount of liability for medical bills can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case. In some cases, the court may order one spouse to pay the entire amount of the medical bills, while in other cases, the court may order the spouses to split the cost of the bills.

If you are concerned about being held responsible for your spouse's medical bills, it is important to talk to an attorney to learn more about your legal rights and obligations.
