You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Unless you signed a guarantee with the hospital or other medical providers, the general answer is no. A wife is generally not responsible for her husband's medical bills to the provider.

If your husband was to file for divorce in family court, the court could decide that you are responsible to pay support or alimony based on the past history but this is a separate issue altogether. I would suggest that you consult a qualified attorney to review your legal rights and responsibilities.
