Can my ex husband be sued for his ex wife's medical bills in the state of Alaska?

My husband is being sued by a debt collector for his ex wife's medical bills he had no knowledge something like when they were married. Is he responsible for this or does he have a fighting karma to get out of it and they can bill her instead.
What does his divorce decree speak about debts? If he was supposed to pay all/part of her debts, consequently yes, he can be sued. If the divorce decree assigns each party their own debts, next no, she is responsible.

It all depends on the divorce settlement. Read it carefully and go from in attendance.
First of all that fs guy is an idiot.

Collection agencies do sue on behalf of their clients. I live within Alaska and if they were married and she had insurance through her husband's job and at hand were residual medical bills then he would be liable for payment. I find it not easy to believe that they were married and he knew nothing almost the medical bills.

He should contact the collection agency and see what can be worked out and what the details are in this matter.
Any debts a person has when they marry become the responsibility and liability of both party in the marriage.

If she neglected to pay the bills and it be sent to the collection agency, then yes, he is liable - if the debt collection agency received the account before they be divorced.

If the agency received the account after they were divorced then he should be capable of get out of paying the debt. However, I would consult a lawyer familiar beside the nuances of Alaskan law.

BTW - the agency probably already billed her and she was delinquent - hence the point why they are now going after him for the payments.

Also, the lady above me has an excellent point - if the bills be created during the marriage under his insurance (or even just during the wedding ceremony period) then he is responsible for the debt.

I just automatically assumed that if they were married and he didn't know in the order of the bills that she must have attained the medical services before they married.

If they were married when she received the services, afterwards I highly doubt that your husband didn't know about the bills.
Who's name is on the bills, hers, or his, all he's got to do is describe the collecter that they have the wrong person, and don't call again, or he will report them, it might not hurt to run an hoarding in the local classifieds stating "I am responsable for nobody's debts but my own", then his name. It is outstandingly unlikely that he is actually being sued. Has this really happened or is this of late something they are threatening?

Threats from debt collectors mean nothing.
