Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

My exwife is using my name and social security number when taking our kids to the doctors office and hospital, having the bills sent to her house, and then ignoring them. Is that legal for the hospital or dr.s office to persue collection from me when i wasn't even aware there was a bill or visit to begin with?
