Child support modification question

I2 years ago my ex and myself went to court and had the child support modified. The amount to be be paid was agreed to by both parents, not the the courts decision. It was done so because I have one daughter almost fulltime, she has the other fulltime. Insurance is and has been provided (at no expense) by the mothers new husband through his work. In the modification support paperwork, there is a section where it says ''the obligor shall pay ___% of extraordinary health care expenses if monthly medical expenses exceed $___.'' This portion was left blank and not filled in by the courts. It was brought up in court by her attorney at the time, but the Judge said he did not want to hear it. It was attempted to be brought up again, and the Judge warned it was not to be mentioned again. I believe it was due to the fact I agreed to pay a fair amount more than what was actually required for me to pay for support considering I had a child living with me 90% of the time. 2 years later, their mother is stating I owe for bills for medical costs (extraordinary costs?) and I am responsible to do so. I have never been presented with a bill for 2 years, and now she says her lawyer says I am liable for the bills, my proportional share. Yes or no??
