Money received from house in divorce

[andreakerner-hot]

We had a house paid for and when we got divorce, my ex husband gave me half of the appraisal value of the house in cash, and changed the deed of the house for his name only (it was in both names before). Do I have to pay taxes on this money? Is there any other documents I need to have? 

Thanks
