She needs to show that you were provided with the medical bills. If she has proof, she has an argument against ex-husband for contempt.
If there is a pending petition for modification of child support, then ex-husband must file Mandatory Disclosure, which does include proof of income, health insurance coverage, income tax returns, etc.
Not knowing the exact terms of your husband's divorce decree. Here is good but general answer to your question. In most agreements the parties are required to provide receipts to the opposing sides within 30 days this a default standard clause. If the time period has passed then the other side losing its right to claim reimbursement. As for the other items you don't have to provide her that information.
