Is your ex responsible for half of your medical expenses incurred while you were married if the bills came after your divorce?

Generally such issues are decided before the final decree is granted and usually it is not possible to have the decree amended. If there are no terms for such issues included in the divorce decree the matter usually needs to be determined in a lawsuit against the non requesting party if an equitable agreement cannot be reached otherwise.

∙ 13y agoMy ex incurred dental bills while we were separated and never submitted to our insurance. 1 year later I was notified when a Sheriff showed up at my work to serve me with garnishment papers. They took 50% of my wages until the bill was paid in full with him not paying a dime. After 1 year most insurance companies will not even look at a bill. So I would have to say from personal experience that the answer to this is a big YES!

∙ 11y agoHe is not responsible for medical bills incurred for his ex-wife's medical care unless that provision was included in the divorce decree and separation agreement. He should review his divorce decree. Many decrees provide that the husband continue the existing medical insurance for a period of time.

If your spouse dies and your house is in your name via community property change are you then responsible for debts incurred by the deceased spouse?
I am not certain what you mean by "community property change", unless it pertains to a divorce decree. If you live in a community property state, and the debts were incurred while you are married. The spouse is indeed responsible for those debts. In non-community property states the person who contracted the debt, is the only person responsible. Therefore, the debt(s) usually "die" with the deceased person. There are exceptions, however, some states have laws which make the spouse responsible if the debts are defined as "necessities". Such as medical expenses, food, shelter, etc.
If the husband before marriage has told lies about his financial position and after marriage asks his wife to share expenses of the house can she be forced to do so?
If the couple is married, they are jointly responsible for their living expenses. If she married him for the money rather than love, she may decide that this is a deal breaker and divorce him. If she married him for the right reasons, she may be angry, but she will live with her new situation and do what she has to do to get by, just as she would if her husband suddenly became unemployed.

No. Debts incurred before the marriage belong to the individual, those made jointly during a marriage belong to both.

(Texas and Wisconsin do not treat all marital debt in the same manner as do the other community property states).
