Divorce and property taxes

[vymc]

Court ordered husband to pay monthly mortgage payment, spousal support and taxes. Spousal support to terminate upon severance or termination of the Joint Tenancy or upon payment of the mortgage in full. Husband seems to believe that once he paid off the mortgage in 1979, he did not have to pay any more taxes. What if the wife recently discovered that he was suppose to pay the taxes and she has been paying them since 1980, does he have to repay her? Isn't the husband liable for property taxes after the mortgage is paid in full? If he decides to sign over the property to the wife in 2008, does he still have to repay her for the taxes she paid from 1980 to 2008?

It would depend on the exact wording of the divorce agreement. Here it appears he still owns half of the house but is willing to sign it over to her. Why rock that boat?
