I've still not heard or seen anything on the divorce. I really thought the tax change would be motivating to him because it will likely cost him $60k or more in taxes he can't push off onto me. Why would he let the end of the year go by without making any effort to save this money? According to my lawyer, if he doesn't do something very soon he will run out of time.
Can he plead Force Majeure to have the amounts adjusted so that his net income hit is the same? Depending on your relative tax brackets I would presume that would mean less after-tax cash coming in for you.
My own opinion - based on my limited experience with my own ex - is that she just never dealt with things. While we were married, I did most of the tough adulting. Now, if her level of preparation of her side of the settlement is any indication, she just continues to ignore things.
Of course it's a very different situation for me. The kids have their own relationship with their mother that I have nothing to do with and I am also 99.5% sure that she absolutely wants no contact from me. "Of course" if I came to her begging her to come back, she'd ignore that but feel pretty darned awesome I expect.
