Medical expense reimbursement reasonable time line

Regarding medical expenses:

The court order is very vague but says we must pay 50/50 uninsured medical cost no biggie.
it say to file quarterly pay within 30 days. No issue with this and it is an order. it was explained if we didn’t follow the filing period we would have to keep the expense.
recently my child aged out and I thought the nightmare was over.

I got a package with medical bills (alledged) from over 18- 24 months old bills.

It is acceptable? Is there a time they have to be reasonable to ask for reimbursement?

It sounds like from the terms of your order that if one parent did not produce the reimbursable medical expenses to the other parent within 30 days after the end of the quarter in which they were incurred, then that parent lost his/her right to reimbursement. If so, then the medical expenses from 18-24 months ago are not reimbursable.
