Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My husband has a child from a previous relationship. He pays his child support and is responsible for health ins. In the support order he is responsible for 50% of uninsured health care expenses. It also stipulates that the mother is ordered to submit to him all bills,receipts,forms and statements showing the uninsured portion within 30 days of her receiving them. To date she had never contacted us regarding this, however today she sent a stack of insurance copies dating from 2007 -2010 demanding payment. She also elected to have braces put on the child without contacting us and is demanding payment for those also. Are we still obligated by law to pay said expenses even though she failed to adhear to the child support order?

Check the order - read what it says. Does it give her a time limit for submitting the bills to him? Ten days? Thirty days?
