Taxes are imposed when you file your income tax return at the end of the year. Often, people think they have paid taxes on their 401K when they withdraw money from the plan. What happens is that the company handling the 401K plan will usually withhold federal income tax when you make a withdrawal. The taxes withheld is just like when taxes are withheld from your paycheck, in that this is merely a time that you make a preliminary payment toward your potential tax bill. When you file your return is when your actual taxes due are determined and based on the tax amount due, you may owe more or you may receive a refund of the amount you had withheld. You must be careful in that there are penalties for not paying close to the amount due during the year when the income is received.

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.
