Are spouses medical bills considered marital debt?

I'm pretty sure I have the answer to this but I just need to double check.

So hypothetically, if a spouse ran up 5k in personal medical bills during the years we were together, and we divorce splitting everything 50/50, is that considered marital debt that I am also responsible for?

So is this for you or your mommy? I know. I will let LD answer it. You after all have all the answers.

The funny thing is that you are not a moderator. Why are you treating me like I'm 15? I highly doubt I'm more than a few years younger than you if not the same age. And yes this is for my 'mommy'. Again, when you try to act condescending you are awfully cute. Especially because you're terrible at it. I appreciate the input though! Sorry that I apparently irritated you on one single thread and now you feel obligated to come hunt down every thread I've posted and reply in it. (for anyone else reading this, go ahead, check OG's post history.) Who's immature again?

You misunderstand OG. She is never rude to someone who isn't rude first, and what most people interpret as her being rude is simply her pointing out exactly how things will be interpreted in court. It is not a warm and fuzzy place!

 

[willpower102]

I agree lillian. Both courts and this forum are a very serious place to be. However OG has decided to post-chase me or whatever you want to call it because I pointed out in another thread that her advice had not only already been given, but that I didn't fully agree with it.

My bad for expressing my opinion, but you are right, it's not a warm fuzzy place. She should grow thicker skin and get over it. Instead, she chose to take personal offense to it and nitpick at every other thread I have posted. Oh well.

Then why did you post in the first person?

 

[willpower102]

Seemed easier to get an answer in a hypothetical in first person than in third. Every time I post in third everyone refuses to answer me. What if I was asking for myself? What if I was a student asking for a class project? What if I was asking for a prenup? What if it was just to settle an argument at a bar? It shouldn't be this hard to ask simple questions. It does not matter why I am asking. The point is, I would like to know this law.

Then google it. We don't help people with homework. We don't help them with hypotheticals. We don't help them interfere with OTHER people's business.

Then we'd likely answer.

What if I was a student asking for a class project?

We'd tell you to do your own homework and be gravely disappointed that you'd be asking in the first place. It wouldn't say a lot for you.

What if I was asking for a prenup?

Ask and thou sometimes will receive.

What if it was just to settle an argument at a bar?

We'd tell you to buy each other another drink and sort it out yourselves.

It shouldn't be this hard to ask simple questions. It does not matter why I am asking. The point is, I would like to know this law.

That's why there are tools available to you elsewhere. MANY tools. If you can't get off your backside, that's not our problem.

You've been here long enough to understand that we try to help people with REAL legal problems.

We're not a research tool.

A) I am not post chasing. Family law is my area and therefore I attempt to post advice to as many threads as possible.
B) My advice on that thread had NOT already been given as I was asking QUESTIONS that were pertinent and the answers of which are extremely important for a specific answer.
C) I don't like you because of your attitude and cursing (a few of your posts had **** in them in palce of a word) towards other members on these boards which is in violation of the TOS. Oh and hopefully when M gets back, you will get banned.
D) As for personal offense? Nope. I will report as many posts of yours as I so desire that I believe are in violation. I will also point out to others your treatment of other posters. You don't like my posting, oh well. That is YOUR issue. Not mine.

Medical bills that accrued during the marriage are marital debt. Therefore both parties are responsible for them.

LD you are aware that he is not asking for himself, he has been cursing and threatening seniors (not me) and he has been all out rude on various other threads to others that have tried to get information to help him, correct?
