I went thru a divorce in the yrs 2007 thru 2008. The wife left in the middle of 2007 after an extended marriage of 26 yrs. I did not know where she was nor hear from her for about 1 yr till I received a petition for divorce in a tribal court in another county...neither one of us were of native American decent but the man she left with was. Anyways I filed a response to that petition and it was accepted by the court. She was ordered to pay half of all the taxes for the back taxes in the yrs 2004, 2005, 2007 as well as penalties and interest acquired. I have filed my taxes since that time and the IRS has kept my refund for the past 3 yrs as well as my stimulus refund which adds up to better than half of the owed amount. She apparently has not filed nor paid anything on her part. I am now looking to have my paycheck garnished or other actions taken against me which I am in no position to do at this time. Just barely getting back on my feet now. What do I need to do at this point to get her to pay her part and to get me cleared of the rest of the owed debt that is her part now. I have contacted the IRS and was informed it was a civil matter now. Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tommy
