Probably, but it depends upon the specifics. What are the taxes owed? Recent income taxes? Withholding? Old income taxes from many years ago? What does the divorce judgment say? Probably, the taxes can all be collected from either of you, buty if that happens, you can probably go after her for half. Take all of the documents and facts to a good lawyer. Good luck.
