If the bills are for treatment that occurred after your divorce, you should not be liable for them and should make this clear to the bill collectors coming after you and to his mother and/or sister. Perhaps you need to show them the date of a divorce decree. If the bills after from dates prior to your divorce decree and such decree says that you have to pay them, you may be stuck with them despite a bankruptcy. I think the latter is unlikely, though. If the decree does not say you are responsible, a bankruptcy discharge would eliminate your personal liability for pre- or post-divorce collections. In the end, you need to consult a bankruptcy expert to go over your specific facts and provide you relevant advice on what to do or not to do.
