Well that requires more explanation. Why is your ex husband's employer paying you?
If it is truly a paycheck, you should get a W-2. Don't do anything until you get a W-2. You can't file a tax return based on a paycheck. The employer has until January 31 to send out the W-2.
If the W-2 lists your ex as the employee, then it goes on his tax return. If the W-2 lists you as the employee, with your Social Security number, then it goes on your tax return. Don't file either tax return until you get the W-2.
