Both my husband & I just received summons for a hospital bill that was mine. I am assuming that he received a summons because the insurance was in his name. I signed for the outpatient treatment that I received at that time. Can they sue him for an amount insurance didn't pay? Also, I have been watching the court cases for the county that I live in because I thought they had to sue me there. Instead they sued my in the city the hospital is located in, can they do this?
first, in some states they can go after your spouse for your deb
first, in some states they can go after your spouse for your debt, it's called "community property state". Not sure where you live but check into that. Also, if the insurance is in his name that may have had something to do with it.
As for the lawsuit, they are within their rights to sue you where the hospital is located.
