Suing me for ex husband debt

[AAsoccer]

State - utah
Received a summons for medical debt my ex husband incurred last year while my son was living with him. They are stating it is my signature (it is not..it is my ex) for services. I remarried in 2012 and have had military tricare insurance since then. How should I respond? Call the attorney listed or email? Respond to the court?

Was the charge for services for your son?

Yes. Spoke to my ex husband and he states he has never heard from them at all and knows nothing of the debt. The signature is clearly his and not mine.

 

[Zigner]

Is it your contention that your son did not receive the services?

I do not know if he received services because my ex can’t remember the services and therefore I know nothing about it.

Was your son covered by Tricare at that time? Did Tricare pay anything?

Son was covered by tricare and if I would have known about the services it would have been covered. My ex also had insurance at the time and he says it would have been covered as well.

You may wish to contact the provider directly ASAP to discuss the matter. Since you have received a summons, time is of the essence. You will need to properly respond to the summons.

Update....
Called the hospital where the medical debt came from and they do not show anything owing for myself OR my ex husband....nobody has any info for me. Do I dare contact this attorney?

What about for your son? It's your son's debt, with you and/or dad as the guarantor(s).

He is a minor and the hospital that the debt supposably came from confirms there is no outstanding debt. It was paid.

How much money are you being sued for?

All of my replies assumed he was a minor. Thanks for confirming it.
