    Default Ex's Medical Debt That Was Made After Divorce

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Kansas

    My husband was recently sued for his ex wife's medical debt. The judgment was that he has to pay it in full even though 2000 of the bill was from 6 months after their divorce. He has sent copies of the divorce decree to both the court and the collection agency. Only $973 of the bill was from when they were married and they were physically separated at the time. How can he be ordered to pay in full when the bill isn't even in his name, none of the $973 was brought up in divorce and the other $2000 was from after the divorce. Shouldn't she have to pay the bill. She didn't even show up to court when being sued.

    You say your husband was sued. And that there is a judgement.

    Did he go to court and defend the suit? Or did he decide not to appear and the judgement was entered against him?

    He went 3 times and didn't go the 4th he would lose his job if he left he tried to call the collectors and he sent in the divorce decree to the court and collections. This suit is 2.5 hours away from our house.

    His ex never showed up.

    Can they sue both parties for the total amount? They can' t garnish her wages because she does a cash business. She doesn't even file taxes on her business even though she makes 2-3 grand a month. If he pays it could he in turn sue her for her portion. If they both don't pay do they risk getting arrested?
