In a divorce decree my x was given permission to claim our two boys on his taxes providing he was current each year by Dec. 31st. Two years ago back in court over support his attorney wanted me to sign a 8332 form from the IRS giving him permission to claim the children. I refused because he wasn't current. After the judge and his attorney assuring me he wouldn't file the form unless he was current(because he would know better), I signed the form and also wrote on it under my signature that him claiming the children was contigent on him being current which he was not at this time, and dated it for that day. Since then I have been audited by the IRS and have received a bill for almost $3000.00 because of his false claiming of the children. How can I prevent this from happening again? The IRS says regardless of my court order since I signed the paper(under the advisement of the judge and attorney) I have to pay the bill. Why doesn't my court order matter? How can I get the local courts make the order stand?How do I get the money to pay the $3000.00 bill I shouldn't be paying anyway? Can I put a lien on his property?
