Re: doctrine of necessaries

The short and long answer is "I always do" as to debts where there is any reason to believe that the couple are co-debtors. It is strange, however, if she is wanting to discharge debts that she would list you as a creditor to her under DON. That is a fight that she should not be in. The hospital could perhaps use DON to come after you as a co-debtor if she is discharges, but as you have explained it, I tend to think it pretty much irrelevant.

That having been said, I embelish the answer by qualifying that I have not seen the filing, do not know what court orders there may be in place, and I would have several more questions for you if you were sitting here discussing it. Thus, please don't take this answer as the final word, it is just a gut reaction to the question as asked. I suggest that you seek out an Attorney that can sit down with you and answer all of your questions after seeing the "big picture". If I can be of assistance, please call to make an appointment.
