No. You won't be able to use it for bills without having to pay 20% in taxes. Usually the 20% in taxes is taken out before you get your money. For example if you are to get $100k from your ex's 401k you will only receive $80k. The only way to keep from having to pay taxes on it is to roll it over into an approved retirement fund.

Is your ex responsible for half of your medical expenses incurred while you were married if the bills came after your divorce?

Generally such issues are decided before the final decree is granted and usually it is not possible to have the decree amended. If there are no terms for such issues included in the divorce decree the matter usually needs to be determined in a lawsuit against the non requesting party if an equitable agreement cannot be reached otherwise.

Hopefully, you had a divorce lawyer. You should ask your lawyer about the meaning of that clause. Your lawyer will have the entire divorce decree and not just the sentence you quoted. It may mean after your divorce, it may mean after a particular date, or it may refer to the fact that the two of you kept separate finances and your partner ran up large debts without your knowledge. Check with your lawyer.

Can you sue your ex spouse if in the divorce decree it says the other party is responsible for paying some bills and he has not done so yet?

Yes. * A lawsuit is possible but the terms of the divorce in most states are not legally binding when it pertains to joint debt. The judge may not allow the dissolution terms to be used as grounds for recovering the debt unless the ex-spouse has already incurred out of pocket expenses connected with those debts.


How do you sue your ex for unpaid medical expenses on your child?

In the final divorce between the two of you , if paying of medical bills is clearly mentioned that he would pay it , then he better do it, or you can very well sue him for it.Another PerspectiveYou may not need to sue. If you have a separation agreement that was made part of the divorce decree and that provides that he must pay a share of the medical expenses, you can file a motion for contempt if he refuses to obey the order. The court can compel payment.
