My stepdaughter, who moved in with us, was seen in the emergency room in December. When I signed the consent for her to be seen, it showed her gaurantor as her mother, meaning that she was responible for her medical bills that insurance did not cover. Now the mother has called the medical center and refused to pay, and they are threatening to turn us in to a collection agency. There is no legal custody of the daughter, and the mother does not pay child support. My question is, since I signed the consent, which stated that the birth mother was the guarantor, and it was witnessed by the medical center employee, shouldn't that be a legal and binding agreement through both parties? We pay for her health insurance, car insurance, clothes, food, everything. Can they change us to her gaurantor without our consent?
