Wow, your divorce lawyer SUCKED.
What does your divorce state? Your lawyer should have put an end date on her involvement. If there isn't one, it looks like you will need to go back to court and fight it out again.
Or run your restaurant into bankruptcy.
Good luck

Looks like you have a case since your the only one filing for taxes. Half of your earnings will be questioned and have to be tracked down. I don't know all the details that is why at this point I'm just speculating. It would be best to ask a reputable lawyer. You don't want to make any move that might actually be a hindrance to your case. But consider this....ever think about buying her out?

Does your divorce decree specify that this happens? If so, you'd need to get it modified, so talk to a lawyer about whether you'd be able to.

Just make her an offer she can't refuse and make sure you get it in writing.
