incurred medical expense after temporary orders filed
I filed for divorce in Sept 06, my husband had been on an individual insurance policy and decided to drop it early last year, in Oct 06 he had a stroke (with no medical ins) our divorce is at a standstill because he wants to fight over everything and is now telling me that I will owe half of his $300,000 medical bill from the stroke, even though I signed nothing at the hospital and he put divorced on all paperwork (that i know of). Our temporary orders state that each party is ''specifically authorized to make expenditures and incur indebtedness for for reasonable and necessary living expenses,.... and medical care. Can I be held liable for half of these medical expenses in our divorce?

Re: incurred medical expense after temporary orders filed
The medical expense can be taken care of in the divorce as his individual liability. Get the divorce set for a final hearing and let him try to fight with the judge.
