Most lump sum payments given in a divorce are not taxable. Lump sum payments that are non-cash property settlements, payments to keep up a standard of living or property are not taxable. However, any lump sum payment given as a form of alimony is taxable.

That depends on several factors including the nature of the transfer and the nature of the assets that are transferred. You should consult with a tax specialist or attorney who specializes in divorce who can provide a more particular answer regarding all the categories of asset transfers that can be made in a divorce action.

I my divorce decree I get half of my ex's 401k can I use any of that money to pay bills with out a penality or tax against me?

No. You won't be able to use it for bills without having to pay 20% in taxes. Usually the 20% in taxes is taken out before you get your money. For example if you are to get $100k from your ex's 401k you will only receive $80k. The only way to keep from having to pay taxes on it is to roll it over into an approved retirement fund.
