Tax Payment Dispute Resolution

Summary

If your divorce agreement doesnt specify a deadline for tax payments, your ex cannot enforce one without a court order. Direct payments to the IRS are valid, and you should keep records. If your ex continues to threaten contempt, consult with a local attorney. Wisconsin courts usually uphold original agreements unless theres a compelling reason. Consider discussing a payment plan with your ex.
