Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

My daughter turned 18 a few months ago at which time I stopped paying child support. Before turning 18, I paid half of her medical bills that were not covered by my ex wife's insurance. She is now asking me to pay half of a medical bill even though my daughter has turned 18. Am I legally obligated to do this?
