yes there is, if it is in collections, most likely the agency wants to resolve it and get it off their books, you can call the agency and ask them to call the hosp where you have the bills and see how much and if they are willing to settle with you, most will give a small percentage if you are willing to pay right away on it.
yes, the wife has to deal with the bills
Your best bet is to pay for the bills yourself and then take them back to court.
public bills
The meaning of a medical test result being lower than normal depends entirely on what medical test result it is. For some results, being lower than normal is not a big deal, or even a good thing; for some results it can be a very big deal, depending on how much lower than normal it is.
You would be responsible for your own medical bills. You are probably being treated as a self employed taxpayer (contract worker). You will have to deal with the payer of your services about this matter.
Private Bills
okay :)
If you do not need the money to live on immediately, invest for yourself and off-springs retirement. If immediate use, payoff as many bills as possible, ex home note, cars, credit cards, medical bills. That way you have a homestead to leave children and least bills to deal with as you get older.
sometimes so deal with it
The correct spelling of the verb is to negotiate (deal, settle).
joint committee
The correct spelling of the verb is to "settle" (to homestead, or to finish a deal).
