Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

When I got divorced in 2003 we used a mediator. It seemed to cover what it needed to since we both agreed on the divorce, we figured it was the best/most economical way. When my daughter had heart surgery 2 years ago, it came to my attention that the agreement never covered extensive medical bills and since it didn't cover it, my ex thinks I should pay them all. I contacted my mediator who basically said she was the mediator and not allowed to advise us in anyway as to what was in the agreement. I've talked to other attorney's who say it's pretty customary to have this piece a part of a divorce agreement. My current husband feels like she is at fault and wonders if there's anything we can do to hold her accountable. Regardless, what do we do at this point??

You can file a Petition for Modification of Final Judgment requesting assistance in paying for your daughter's medical bills.
