Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
My husband's ex-wife took their child to the hospital for testing. She used the insurance my husband provides for his children and signed herself as guarantor but then didn't pay.
Now the hospital has turned the account over to a collection agency that says even though my husband never signed anything or took their daughter to the doctor he can still be held responsible for the bill his ex-wife agreed by signature to pay. Is this true?

Under the facts you described, the hospital can look to either parent for the bill. If their divorce decree says she is responsible or shares resonsiblity for the child's medical expenses, your husband can bring his ex into any suit that is filed against him by the hosptal or doctors. He could likewise sue her if he pays without being sued.
Good luck
