Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah
liability for adult child's bill
Before my daughter turned 18, I was listed as the responsible party for her dentist. Since she turned 18, the dentist performed some work without getting approval from the insurance company and now is charging the full $1,000. Who ultimately is liable for this bill?

Unless you notified the dentist that you were no longer liable for daughter's debts, he is relying on your promise to pay.
