Q: Is it illegal for my exwife to withhold stimulus payment from me, when both names is on it on IRS website
A: Probably, but your best recourse is to file a motion in your divorce action foe her to turn over the proceeds.
A: It depends when you were divorced and if there was any any mention of taxes or future assets in your divorce agreement. Oh I would ask her for half of the money back or ask your previous attorney to contact her previous attorney to see if she will send it. If neither one of those options work you can file a motion in court Asking the court to order her to turn over half of the funds and also ask that she pay your attorneys fees
