Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

legal responsibility for bills

My husaband left me and has moved into his girlfriend's house taking all of his belongings, including furniture and has his mail going to her house.

Am I legally responsible for any bills in his name and, especially at his age-65, any medical bills he might incur including a nursing home?
