<prompt> Human: help...I tried filing innocent spouse papers but since we were still married when she cashed it is responsibility of both parties. Now she is a deadbeat and is just hiding from the IRS completely. What can I do other than set up payments?  <response>: A. Get your own lawyer to advise on this.B. As a non-lawyer internet stranger, you might want to look into exactly when she did this. If it were after legal date of separation, then you should be able to argue its her issue. Note: separation date, not divorce date. After divorce date its obviously on her. Likewise, as part of divorce which you may not want to reopen she should have been required to disclose all this. If she didnt you might have a case to redo your settlement to make her responsible.
