QUESTION
Is this possible as with my two small incomes mentioned?
Asked on Oct 06th, 2015 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
My spouse and I were recently divorced after 28 years of marriage with a simple no-contest divorce. I have been retired for 3 years and she is still a working professional. I only have social security and a small state pension of approximately $400. I know we are both liable for delinquent taxes. She agreed to pay the delinquent taxes and started those payments. Now, she says she is submitting a form to the IRS to have the monthly payment she has been making paid equally by each of us. I do not even have enough to live on. I currently reside with our youngest daughter?

If taxes are owed then taxes are owed, hire a lawyer.

This is one reason that you needed an attorney when you got a divorce, to protect you from this sort of thing. Go see one immediately.

Assuming the divorce judgment stated she will make all payments, you will have to file a motion for contempt with the Court to enforce the judgment. If the judgment did NOT mention that issue, you will either have to pay your share or Petition the Court for a modification to require her to keep paying. Good luck.

Cannot give an opinion without a review of the Final Judgment and Settlement Agreement. Have them reviewed by an attorney immediately and maybe by CPA.
