Your daughter was of age when she incurred those bills, so you have NO responsibility for HER medical bills. She was on her own.. and, according to NE law, the head of a family - she's responsible for her own bills.

There's nothing they can do to collect while she's in prison. They could sue her and get a judgment which will sit out there until she's out of prison. If she gets a job, her wages could then be garnished.
