I received a bill today in the mail for $74 for my daughter's dr visit from 6 months ago. My ex and I are responsible for for splitting medical bills per our divorce decree. I paid my half of the bill at the time of the visit and then called the clinic before filing for bankruptcy (in June) and was told that my ex had paid his half and the account was at zero balance. I didn't include it on my petition. My 341 was last Thursday and the Trustee posted his no asset report on Tuesday.
When I got the bill, I called the clinic to figure out what was going on. It turns out that my ex put a stop payment on his check and I am responsible for the remaining balance as well as nsf fee because I am the guarantor on the account. I called my ex, and of course he was a jerk about it and refused to pay it.
Should I just go ahead and pay the bill or have my attorney add it? I'm hesitant about having him add it because he charges a minimum $125 fee to amend the petition after filing. Would paying the bill raise any red flags with the trustee or UST?
