If your married is spouse responsible for medical bills if you pay when name not on the bills?
It depends on the location and specific laws. In some jurisdictions, spouses may be responsible for each other's medical debt, regardless of whose name is on the bill. In general, a spouse may be responsible for the following medical expenses:
- Medical expenses incurred during the marriage
- Medical expenses incurred before the marriage if the debt is considered marital debt.
However, the laws vary and there are several factors that can affect the responsibility, including state laws, the type of debt, the marital status, and the nature of the medical expenses. In some states, a spouse may be held responsible for the other spouse's medical debts even if they are not legally married.
It's advisable to consult with a local family law attorney or legal expert to determine the liability of your spouse for your medical bills in your specific jurisdiction.
