Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My wife filed for Mutual consent divorce and I paid her onetime alimony as the part of settlement in US. We got divorced in July 2015. Now she wants me to pay for alimony taxes that are charged to her and threatening me that she will open the case and putting false allegations.
