Q: I'm getting sued for my Father's debt, that was established when I was a minor. I have a summons to court. Help?

I have responded to the summons, say I can't afford his debt. Now I have to go court to see what decision will be made by his hospital bill

A: More information is needed to answer this question, such as why do you or anyone else believe you are responsible for your father's debt? You should consider hiring a lawyer to defend you----the entity suing is represented and very much willing to take advantage of a non-represented person.
