medical bills...who pays???

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? CO

I am in a situation where an ex-girlfriend of mine is pregnant. She doesn't have insurance and so when she goes to have a check up or any tests done and such she mails me the bills. She says I am legally responsible to pay half of the bills. Im not even sure if the child is mine or not. Obv. if the child is not mine...I know I don't have to pay nothing. If it is, who is legally responsible for the bills during her pregnancy? Im not trying to get out of paying them, but her threats are what I was wondering about.

Thanks,

No it is not your responsibility to pay. You aren't required to pay or do anything until paternity has been established.

You are not responsible for these bills. However, if she has the baby and uses state insurance for the costs, and you are determined to be the father of the child, the state will come after you both for reimbursement of birthing costs and child support.

She's not putting these bills in your name, is she?
