What is the name of your state? Nevada
My ex has filed with the courts a motion to get me to pay back medical bills.
She is trying to get me to pay bills that I have never seen from 1992-present. I belive that this was brought up because I filed a motion to terminate C/S. Which was granted by the judge to stop when my daughter turned 18. Which she did a week after the court date. My ex has never sent me one bill whatsoever since our divorce in 91. I did recive 3 bills recently in which I payed in full. There has got to be some time frame for submitting medical bills to me for payment. Insurance companies require 30 to 90 day's to submitt bills to them for payment or they wont pay them. Should'nt that hold true for myself ? I have heard if the Latches defence Can I use this defence since I have been so unjustfully blindsided by this all of the sudden 13 years worth of medical bills? Somebody inlighten me on my rights please, I think it's just wrong.

Yes, use the laches (note, not T)  defense & also check your state laws. Some actually contain wording that medical bills must be submitted for payment within X number of days. Research:
In Parkinson v. Parkinson, 106 Nev. 481, 796 P.2d 229 (1990)
Good Luck!

If not, the judge may say "tough".

    Kat,
   Thank you sooo much for the Parkinson V Parkinson case. That is what I've been loking for for months. Yes I plan to use the laches (without a t) defence, I could'nt find any Nevada laws regarding time to submitt bills to the NCP. But I can't believe she had the chance for the past 15 or so years to take me to court to force me to pay the medical bills. Or she could have sent them to me to pay. But I was not even aware of these bills until she brought them to court in retaliation to my case to terminate child suport. That was after my daughter turned 18. Other wise I think her lack of action in the past shows that should be relinquished from those bills.
