A: You do not indicate if your spouse is your former spouse. If you are divorced, there should be a provision in your judgment in regards to medical expenses for your child. You need to refer to the judgment . If you are not divorced then your spouse is under no obligation to reimburse you for past medical bills. You should consult an attorney.
