It is possible because the debts were for necessary things (health needs).

& particularly if you're in a community property state - you didn't give your state.

NC is not a community property state but your wife *might* still be responsible for your medical bills - see sr.judge's reply - it's called under the doctrine of necessaries. It's usually according to the state & their courts' decisions regarding this doctrine.

You need to fill the form out & send it back to the court.
