Medical Bills Should Be in Ex Husbands Name
My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: West Virginia.have
My Ex husband is supposed to medical insurance on our 3 sons and he has never in the ten years that we have been divorced done so. Our papers also state that he pay ALL of what insurance does not cover. I realize that sounds a little unfair, but he was engaged before we were divorced and chose to sign whatever was put in front of him.He also has NEVER paid a medical bill or even bought so much as a bottle of tylenol. He is also $24,000 behind in child support. I just want to know if there is anything I can do about medical bills that are sitting on my credit for my children, can I have them put on him? Do I have the right to put him down as Guarantor? This man is a complete deadbeat, and I don't anticipate ever getting a dime from him, but maybe collections can get something out of him. Thanks in advance for you help.

The medical bills are your debt because your children accrued them. Who actually owes for them is a seperate issue. The collection agency or hospital isnt' going to switch the responsible party around. The payment issue is between you and the father. You can file a suit against him, hopefully get a judgement, and file for a lien against wages, etc. If you haven't already spoken to a lawyer about garnishing wages for child support you need to do that also.
