In my experience, the ex can and will do anything to push buttons, cause you/us anxiety, to FORCE your/my attention towards them, which includes (for me) going to court. They want to see and hear from you when you are angry, because it helps them justify/prove to themselves that we deserve the treatment/abuse from them. In a (very) crazy way, it keeps us sucked into their drama, AND keeps us connected to them.
If you can afford to, give it to your attorney and/or accountant to deal with, and allow him the room to hang himself.
Look at it this way, you know you didn't receive this money as alimony, which is a taxable income for you. You can prove you didn't receive this money, in case of an audit, right? Well then, give him the rope he needs to hang himself, for it will be his taxes, his audit that HE will have to deal with.
Make any sense?
Is he still in MLC? Well, I can honestly say I don't know, but, again in my experience, my xh became worse after the divorce, as if the divorce was another life crisis for him which sent him further into the insanity. Just because they get the divorce they so "desperately" needed doesn't mean MLC will end.
Hope you continue to remained detached, for it's the only way to keep your wits about you, and live a life YOU choose.
Take care of you, God Bless
