    Default My Ex Husband Is Being Sued For Ex Wife's Medical Bills In Her Name, Does He Owe?

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Alaska.
    Is he responsible for this debt or can he get out of it and have a fighting chance where they can get her for it since it's in her name. He did not even know about this until he got something from debt collectors today to take him to court. She resides in Idaho now.

    It seems ex husband is in Alaska & ex wife is now in Idaho per your post.

    Per your post (please verify) it seems ex husband did not know about this debt until hearing from debt collectors. So you're saying ex husband did not sign to be responsible for the debt - was the medical debt incurred after the divorce? If he didn't know of the debt, I am assuming there is nothing in the divorce decree that he would pay this medical debt.

    Is this all correct - thanks. (If it is, he shouldn't be responsible even under the doctrine of necessaries and/or because Idaho is a community property state since they are divorced & bills were incurred in her name only & after the divorce.)
