That's funny. The taxes is the thing my ex is pissed off about. When I did the computation I did it "as if" he received my pension timely. Which he didn't. I told him that I would pay him $$$xx amount, but withhold 25% for taxes, because 1099 will reflect this as my income.
Then he wanted an additional $350 for my share of doing the C.O.A.P. (pension division), I told him he will not get a cent from me for that because I had to fight with him for 7 months about that because he was trying to screw me with that, going by his net income and my gross income. I have a copy of an email from pension evaluator to him stating this. I think he dropped this matter, but not sure.
It may cost me more this way, but I do live by principles. I would rather give my money to my lawyer then to him. Then if he loses the contempt of court motion, he may have to pay for his attorney, my attorney, and the money he will owe me.
Why oh why are abusive people so stupid?
