What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My divorce decree says that I pay 80 percent of unremibursed medical expenses. My ex-wife brought me to court for medical expenses that are from 2005 and older. I've never seen these bills before. This is her first time bringing them to my attention. At first glance some of this bills are for doctors who are out of network and our decree says she must use in network doctors or she is responsible for 100 percent of bill. There are 69 old medical bills. Before I start addressing each one individually can I cite a statute of limitation and that will prevent me form needing to respond to this petition? This seems a little ridiculous that I need to address theses very old bills. My ex-wife tries to throw as much mud of the wall and sees what sticks. She also tries to relitigate issues that were already covered in old decisions.
