Hello,
My divorce decree states my ex husband is liable for $13,000 in tax debt to the IRS, which he has not been paying and therefore the amount is over $25,000 now. Unbeknownst to me, the IRS does not care nor will they uphold the divorce stipulation (I assumed $13,000 in credit card debt that we accrued during the marriage). My attorney advised me to file an Innocent Spouse appeal which was rejected multiple times. I am at my wits' end about what to do. I am financially destitute and my ex husband will not pay the taxes. The IRS has been taking from my returns and when this happens, I turn around and have my divorce attorney file a contempt of court to my ex husband, which only then will he pay the amount by issuing a check directly to me. At this rate, the debt will never get paid down and the IRS will keep coming after me forever.
I am seeking a tax attorney to ask what other options I may have? Thank you
