That's going to depend on the state the debt is incured in. In states without community property, the spouse is probably not liable. In states with community property, it depends, some states will consider medical debt a personal debt and some consider it a community debt.

Also, divorce may affect immigration status, which seems to be in play as well; and it may make visitation more difficult, although you might just not tell medical facilities about the divorce.
