Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
irs/divorce
my husband & I had an s-corp business we started during our marriage. I was never listed as having any shares, temporarily, I was listed as as officer, (admin vice pres.), so of course I signed most of the tax paperwork. There was still IRS debt when he forced me out of the company, and at this time it is still outstanding on the company, even though there is no longer a company. The question is...if my husband quit claimed the deed to our house, could the irs still place a lein on the house if he is no longer on the title??

The IRS can do almost anything they choose to do. If they place a lien on the residence, you will have to prove to them that you had no obligation for the unpaid taxes of the corporation.
If this does happen, you will need to retain an attorney who is experienced in dealing with the IRS. Alternatively, you may choose to use a CPA who has the requisite knowledge and experience.
