Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
My ex husband is responsible to pay for 66 percent of the children's medical and dental bills that I pay in full. He refuses to pay however and I must go through court about this issue. My question is how far back may I include the bills he needs to pay. Is there a certain time limit? Such as I can go back 5 years or only 2 years or ?? or is there no limit? Thanks so much!!

If your current orders do not specify otherwise, then the statutory timeframes will apply. Generally speaking, you must present him with written proof of the out-of-pocket expense within 180 days of incurring the expense, and he must reimburse you within 45 days. If you have presented proof of the expense, then you have preserved your claim to come back and enforce that expense, but if you don't give him proof and request reimbursement by the end of the 180 days, then that particular expense will expire.
I hope that helps!
