My husband has some doctor bills that he got after we were married. He did not pay them and now they were sent to a collection agency. The bills were always in his name, but now they are in my name.

In California there is the "NO FAULT" Divorce. If you were married to your spouse . The bills are both of yours . Unless you filed for legal separation, Put an add in the local paper stating your no longer responsible for his debts , and the bills were made after the separation. If they were bills you both had while in the marriage , there both of yours. The creditor does not care who pays it off . Only that he has another person to go after to re coupe his money . Good luck , Been there Done that ......
and I'm still paying every month for the rest of my life or until she remarries . Which is an all together different story for a different question.

Are you two together? Youre leaving out something important. If you two are separated,
I'm not sure if you can cross off your name and return to sender with his proper name or forwarding address. But my guess is, sorry, I can only guess at this, but if it were my kids health bills, Im sure I would be responsible, so seems like the hubby's medical bills are yours also...at least half.

Yes, I am afraid so. One of the uglier sides of matrimony. To avoid this going on your credit report, I suggest you make arrangement to pay them off over time. You don't say if you are divorced or not..if not, file papers immediately, or this will be happening over and over. Good luck

the best way to answer that is to call a lawyer that deals with credit and ask for a free consultation and get it straight from a legal professional.

If you had property in both names welcome to marriage. Yes you will have to pay. Your best bet is to get a lawyer to help you on this. If you don't do something your credit will turn to crap.
