Just venting

"Just because the judge says it, doesn't make it so." Per the divorce, It was ordered that I would not be responsible for the $22000 worth of taxes owed on the money Paul earned in Iraq. The order of the court is that Paul is to pay that and I am not to be held responsible for any of it. When my 2007 tax return was taken/intercepted to pay the taxes "WE" owe on the money he earned in Iraq, I called the IRS to explain that I am not responsible for that lein. I was told that because we filed a joint return for 2006 and we live in a community property state, I am just as responsible as Paul is until it is paid off, and "just because a judge says it, doesn't mean it's so. A divorce court judge can not over rule federal tax laws." The only recorse I have is to take Paul to court for contempt of court to try to get my money back. It will continue like this, any refunds I am eligible for going to pay the taxes, until the debt is paid in full! It will take YEARS for me to pay that off. My blood is boiling.
