I was talked into taking on some of my ex husbands debts in exchange for being awarded real estate assets. The court's judgement said this was fair and they signed off on it. Little did we know that 1 quarter prior to our final hearing the IRS talked to my ex husband and slapped him with tax liens on all of those properties for failing to pay taxes associated with his business (payroll and SS taxes). He said nothing in court about the tax liens, so now I've taken on debt and will have no assets to help pay it off because the assets have IRS tax liens on them. Can my ex be sued for fraud? What response is the court likely to have knowing that he duped the judge? What actions should I take from here?
