time limit for collections?

Hi ya. I live in Colorado and went through a nasty divorce 3 years ago and lost everything. Now I have been served collection notice on some medical bills that are 5 and 6 years old. Some of them are for my ex stepchildren, some for my ex wife. When I was married, I was the homemaker and the wife worked full time, and I was/em on full social securety disability. The collection agencie claims that colorado state law says that I em resposible for the bills because I was the male in the relationship. Regardless of who was the homemaker and who worked full time. Are these debts to old for court action for collection? And who should pay them?
Thank you

My response:

The S.O.L. in Colorado concerning written debts is 6 years.

But, now I think I've heard it all. I can safely say that I can die peacefully because a debtor is "resposible for the bills because I was the male in the relationship."

That has got to beat every excuse I've ever heard from a debt collector trying to collect money !

I guess, for Colorado, the "Equal Protection Clause" of the United States Constitution doesn't exist.

Tell them to take a flying leap.
