Am I responsible for my ex medical bills if my daughter hit and broke my ex’s nose?

You should hire an attorney to defend you, if she sues you. Don't pay her claim

You're not responsible for your former wife's medical bills, even though she may press charges against your daughter. It may be illegal (extortion?) to threaten to file criminal charges while attempting to get money.

You are not required to pay your ex-wife's medical bills. On the other hand, she could file a police report and your daughter could face a criminal charge, Even if you pay her medical bills, she could file a complaint with the police. This is a tough situation with no easy answer as to what you should do.

Your homeowners insurance may cover the medical bills.

I do not believe that you are medically responsible. In South Carolina, it is not illegal to record telephone conversations that you are a party to. It might be helpful if you had some corroborating evidence of the ex's threat to press charges if you do not pay her bills. This type of threat is a crime, blackmail. The State may refuse to prosecute if the prosecutor were made aware of such a threat.

You have a mess. Most dads would pay the bill to avoid criminal charges. I assume you will. What you owe is based on what you have agreed to do. Are you liable for your wife's bills per an agreement or court order the general rule is that a husband is liable for his wife's medical bills unless you have some agreement or order relieving you of that obligation THE alphabet soup of emotions and romantic entanglements have nothing to do with your obligations one way or another.

No. Your daughter is "responsible" but judgment proof . Your ex may be partially responsible for provoking your daughter into a fight. She dropped her insurance so she is self pay. May God Have Mercy Somehow. Your daughter needs counseling to reconcile her dissonance. Her mother acted like a slut in the past. Your ex-wife's self gratifying betrayals of your marriage were too intoxicating for her to stop. Lust is stronger than greed. She probably didn't think about the effect of her whorish actions on her children. Only her selfish desires at the time. Your daughter believes her mother destroyed the family. Now, everyone has to live with it. But you don't have to pay her medical bills. Tell the ex to consider this partial payback from her daughter for the damage she has done to her psyche. It's just a start and the rage needs to be dealt with in counseling not with further violence or lawsuits. You need to get her long term counseling. Good Luck.

She cannot threaten criminal prosecution in exchange for the payment of money. Get some evidence for that, such as witnesses, e-mails, text messages. Stall. Then if she gets fed up and tries to press charges, you daughter's lawyer will have something to work with. I don't think you are legally liable for your ex-wife's medical bills, but that won't stop her from attempting to press charges.
